President Jacob Zuma was sworn in as the fourth post-apartheid president of South Africa this Saturday. But his appointment has raised questions about gender equality in the country. Zuma, a Zulu, has three wives and 19 children. His party, however, the ruling African National Congress, has made gender equality a top priority and one third of Zuma's cabinet are women. Editor of the Mail & Guardian newspaper Ferial Haffajee and Sunday Times political writer Moipone Malefane talk about the image of the first ladies and the role of women in South Africa. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104128827 |
