The issues of gender equality still pervade South Africa’s democratic form of government after more than 20 years. This is due in part to Africa’s culture and views about the role of women and how they should function in society. This also applies in the widening gap between females and entrepreneurs.
Companies in South Africa favorably compare with the rest of world. In fact, a significant proportion of the senior management is governed by women. However, according to one consultant, significant progress is still to be made in the business sector.
