A
recent edition of City Press carried an article “The
time is nigh for the ANC to have a woman president” (City
Press, October 7) by Thenjiwe Mtintso, the veteran ANC leader and
Umkhonto weSizwe commander who now occupies the position of South
African ambassador to Italy.
In her article, she asked: “Has there never been a politically astute, capable, competent woman of integrity ready and willing to lead the ANC in one hundred years?” Mtintso is the right person to be asking this question at a particularly apt time in terms of the ANC’s electoral calendar.
