Speaking to Newswatch as South Africans mark Women's Month and National Women's Day tomorrow, Caluza says the sentiment needs to change, as women have the ability to occupy key positions and lead with excellence.

Some 500 Sadtu delegates from around the country attended the conference.

Caluza says it is scary to think that women are not being given opportunities to develop in their careers 25 years into the country's democracy.
