Gauteng legislature speaker Ntombi Mekgwe is embarking on a R759,000 overseas trip to attend the 67th Commission on the Status of Women hosted by the UN in New York.
Mekgwe had an upcoming international trip in March that would have set the public purse back R1.1m but it was cancelled and the memo said this should be redirected to fund the trip to New York.
“Any unspent funds by the end of March 2023 will be forfeited, whereas the implementation of this new priority will benefit the programmes of the legislature.”further advocating and encouraging parliamentarians of all genders to include a gender perspective in all aspects of their role — such as legislation, oversight and representation; and
to elevate and align the legislature's signature programmes such as transversal mainstreaming: multiparty women’s caucus and the Commonwealth women parliamentarians. Mekgwe was nominated to moderate a key session under the theme: harnessing technology and innovation to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls at the conference.
