News24 reports that the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party said in its Women's Day message on Tuesday that women's salaries should be reviewed so that they could earn the same as men for the same jobs.
"On the 60th Anniversary of the 1956 Women's March, the EFF calls on all companies and state departments to review salaries and give women the same salaries that men receive for the same jobs," said EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. He added that matric results showed that many girl pupils did better than their male counterparts, but faced salary inequalities because of their gender. Women also struggled to own land in rural areas, which impeded their efforts to break out of poverty, he pointed out. The party also wants sanitary towels to be made as freely available by the government as condoms are.
