I wish the authors of this article could also spare a thought for the other women in the ANC presidential race, who have been dismissed and ignored by most media. Aren't Lindiwe Sisulu and Baleka Mbethe women and leaders in their own right too? I have not heard the mainstream media calling for their election. Which means they too are not the favorites of the enemies of our esteemed authors. The writers of this piece are not advancing the course of women, they are campaigning for a particular woman, whom, for whatever reason, they prefer over other women in the same league as their candidate.
