Lekota's "concubine" remarks sexist - ANCWL

League says COPE President insulted women who work tirelessly in public sector

ANCWL SHOCKED AT BLATANT SEXISM BY COPE LEADER

The ANC Women's League is shocked by the outrageous comments made by Cope Leader, Mosiuoa (Terror) Lekota where, during the SONA debates in parliament this week, he labelled women public servants as "concubines".

This is blatantly sexist and downright insulting to the women who work tirelessly in the public sector to serve our people.

Lekota has demonstrated his lack of respect for women and women leaders in this country with these comments. As the ANC Women's League we demand an apology from Cope and it's leader.
