‘We still need to do more’
As the country determinedly seeks to empower women, Government is already actively considering a Constitutional amendment that will extend the women’s quota in Parliament. Currently, Section 124 of the Constitution provides for the proportional representation of women in Parliament by reserving 60 additional non-constituency seats for female legislators. However, the clause expires in 2023. At a recent Zanu-PF Women’s League National Assembly meeting, President Emmerson Mnangagwa indicated that Government was considering extending the clause. The Sunday Mail Gender and Community Affairs Editor Fatima Bulla recently talked to Zanu-PF’s secretary for women’s affairs and Senate president Cde Mabel Chinomona on the proposed extension and the way forward.
