Presentation Themes
Ms. Tengeni addressed the multiple layers of oppression and multi-layered
victory for South African women: resisting apartheid, putting women
on the political agenda in the 1990’s, women in government from 1994 to
date, and the constitution and outstanding business. Her presentation
was open to the public, admission free.
