Nomusa Dube-Ncube, the premier of KwaZulu-Natal, has named land ownership as one of the factors that would most significantly impact women’s emancipation.
“When we discuss women’s empowerment, we must also include land. Without access to land, women cannot be active in real estate and building.
“Women are not often included in talks on land ownership, land restitution, and resettlement. Especially when it comes to conversations regarding who owns the property, women should always be included, according to Dube-Ncube.
The announcement was made by the premier during the AWLO Annual Conference, which was recently held in Umhlanga, north of Durban.
Prominent female executives from industry, government, and other sectors from throughout the continent attended the meeting.
Speaking to the audience, Dube-Ncube urged women to participate in their own economic liberation now in the same manner that they did in the past while fighting for political freedom.
She said that the event will “inspire women throughout Africa to unite and take the lead in the battle for their own emancipation, which is economic freedom.”
The Premier urged female leaders to take charge of creating the “new and African model citizen,” who does not retaliate violently in times of rage.
We also owe it to future generations of females to raise them to be assertive rather than hostile. To support the tribulations and triumphs of other women, they must develop.
“If we don’t put women first, we won’t be able to accomplish these goals. In addition to being a declaration of faith, we also want for this to be a useful answer to the urgent need to alter our society, according to Dube-Ncube.
The Director-General and six out of the Executive Council’s ten members, the Premier said when she unveiled the Provincial Executive Council in August.
“As a consequence, our provincial Cabinet is 63% female for the first time in our history. This is a significant triumph in a nation where sexism and antiquated notions about women’s skills are still prevalent.
When we know that women are already taking care of their own homes, children, companies, and communities, Dube-Ncube added, “It pushes us to question ‘why’ that it has taken 29 years for a woman to become the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal.”
