Ms Mabet Van Rensburg:

Just a quick question and this where we want to thank Ireland specifically.

A lot of what the committee is talking about is also tied to the empowerment of women in Africa, their economic independence and their ability to make decisions about their reproductive health, and that will go a long way to resolving many issues that are developing. Something on which South Africa is very gung ho, therefore, is how to strengthen women and secure their independence in order that they can make the decisions that are right for them and their families.
