INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’s DAY (8th March)

As we commemorate this day, I am reminded of contributions parliamentarians make to drive sexual & reproductive health & rights.

As a member of Eastern & Southern Africa Parliamentary Caucus on S*xual & Reproductive Health & Rights (ESAParC), It is exciting that the next International Maternal Newborn Health Conference (IMNHC)2026 will be hosted in Nairobi. (The last conference was in 2023 in Cape Town, hosted by SA health departments where I co signed off conference resolutions & pledge on behalf of SA government.

Thanks UNFPA for the invite to Nairobi to join other Parliamentarians in collaboration with GPA (Global Parliamentary Alliance for Health, Rights and Development).

Some of the work I did with UNFPA are on the State of Midwifery report .

Happy international women’s day

POSTPONEMENT

Due to airstrikes war in Middle East & surrounds , UNITE Global Summit, that was to take place on March 6th & 7th 2026, in Manila, Philippines, has been postponed for safety concerns for Members of Parliament etc & support.

Global Summit in collaboration with IDRC , with theme "Bridging the Health Divide: Political Courage to Invest", focus was about confronting parlamentarians with one of the defining challenges of the current fracturing times - the widening gaps in health equity and access.

Thanks UNITE Parlamentarians Network for Global Health for invite to participate . Hopefully , politicians responsible for wars can come to their senses and read the room… the world is angry towards all of you war makers.

For those I promised a meet & greet in transit, we meet again soon (Kenya?). (At least I am home… thats all what matters).

Let’s all pray for wars to stop & that fighting politicians must find each other & engage for truce.

MY SPEECH DEBATING STATE OF THE PROVINCE ADDRESS, Western Cape Provincial Parliament , George

(Snippets of speech as chair of Mobility & constituency head of George)

Honourable Speaker, yesterday, members of this esteemed Parliament experienced a beacon of hope in action when they boarded the transformative GoGeorge bus to the State of the Province Address. GoGeorge stands as a shining treasure of our province, pioneering the first and most triumphant non-metro Integrated Public Transport Network in South Africa, empowering nearly 21,000 passengers daily with dignified, safe, and accessible transport.

I can’t think of a time in history where members of a provincial or national Parliament took public transport to an official parliamentary sitting. Others may call it a political triumphal entry, but we call it a commitment to a service that works, a service that puts residents first and proves that reliable public transport is possible….
