This mind set became even more apparent on the 4th September during a phone in programme Masa-a-sele. The question being asked was "Is it not time that women, just like their male counterparts should also be at liberty to say to men 'I love you and I want to marry you'?" Except one or two, almost all the women who responded dismissed the idea on the grounds that it flies in the face of our culture (Ngwao).
It is common knowledge that all women believe that it is due to men's adherence to cultural norms like "ga di ke di etelelwa pele ke managamagadi" that there is such a huge disparity in the treatment of men and women especially in leadership roles.
When Parliament introduced a law, which sought to do away with the concept of men being automatically accepted as heads of the families, there was wide jubilation all over the country by our womenfolk.
