Where are the women Helen?

Helen Zille, leader of the DA and Western Cape premier, has chosen a women-free (herself the exception), pale-male cabinet. Needless to say, I am a bit disappointed.

One of the most difficult thing that I have found working with teams of women, is that their belief that other women are their competition rather than their allies often stunts women's own efforts at achieving success. Whilst I respect that Zille wants the best team, she should be more aware of the detrimental effect that such an unconstitutional cabinet has on aspiring young girls and women.

If she herself wants to remain a credible leader, she should pay respect to the constitutional requirements and laws of South Africa - after all, she is always first to criticise others for ignoring them.
