Celebrating Women’s Leadership and Improving Social Grant Services
13:51 04.08.2026 (Updated: 18:02 07.08.2026) On this Nnete Fela Show, we discuss the International Portraits of Power exhibition, which celebrates women who shaped nations. We also visit an SA Social Security Agency office in Soweto, where Social Development Minister Dina Pule made a surprise visit, responding to concerns over long queues and service delivery.
The inaugural International Portraits of Power exhibition at the Union Buildings brought together diplomatic missions to celebrate women whose leadership has shaped countries across Africa and the world.
We hear from officials about the importance of representation, cultural diplomacy, and telling the stories of women on their own terms.
SA Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga speaks about Charlotte Maxeke as an iconic South African woman who deserves celebration for putting women’s issues firmly on the political agenda of her time.
“What we're celebrating here today is the life of a remarkable woman, a trailblazer in her own way, who actually, during her time, made it possible that women's issues are not put under the table but now on the table,” Minister Chikunga says.
Later in the show we discuss social grant services in South Africa as Social Development Minister Dina Pule makes an unannounced visit to a SASSA office at Maponya Mall in Soweto.
We look at the challenges facing grant beneficiaries, including high demand and limited capacity, and hear what the minister and local officials say needs to change.
What is needed to ensure efficient delivery of grants for SA’s vulnerable populations? How does SA celebrate remarkable women?
