Hands off traditional brew - women

Speaking at a panel discussion organised by BOCONGO to respond to the budget proposals on Monday, Maungo Mooki said this will result in loss of income for many families.  She said the majority of traditional brewers are women who need the money to send their children to school and keep their families going.

Mooli said that she was disappointed with government for not signing the Southern African Development Committee (SADC) Gender Protocol on the grounds that it does not believe in affirmative action. "Our government is hyprocrite," she said.
