  • Few Top Media Posts for Women

    Women may be well represented in newsrooms, but they struggle to find a place in senior management or on boards and they still earn less than their male counterparts. This is according to a 2008 report conducted by Gender Links in South Africa and the South African Development Community (SADC).

    The study found that South Africa is at the top end of the scale (50 percent), beaten only by Lesotho (73 percent) when it comes to the percentage of women in media for the region.

    Department of Trade and Industry deputy director-general, Xavier Carim, argues that while SADC ministers agreed that regional integration should be prioritised, it is now recognised that the timeframe for integration needed to be rethought and that alternative models for integration should be considered.
