Like many other African countries, South Africa has performed well in women's representation in parliament and government, but this has not necessarily translated to other sectors. What are the obstacles to women's advancement, and what needs to be done about it?
Equal But Different is based on life story interviews from fourteen women from diverse backgrounds, all of whom have risen to top leadership positions. These include Phuti Mahanyele (exec chairman Sigma Capital), Coco Cachalia (CEO Grounded Media), Cora Fernandez (Head of Sanlam Investment Management), and Siza Mzimela (first black woman to lead a commercial airline company). It does an excellent job of illuminating the similarities as differences in the women's experiences in their struggle to the top.
While this book is mainly aimed at women, it also calls upon men to play an active role in encouraging aspiring female leaders.
"It is my strong belief that people are born equal but different. It is a belief that equity across gender, race, social class and sexual orientation will be attained in my lifetime." - Dr. Judy Dlamini

I was quite surpised at the prompt service from Exclusive books. The books from this author are exactly what I require and the complete guide far exceeds my expectations. Thank you very much
I am studying Zulu on the Duolingo platform and hoped this Zulu-English Dictionary would be a helpful resource to improve my Zulu vocabulary. Unfortunately not. Such a rich language cannot be captured in an alphabetical list of 30 x A5-pages. It is merely an introduction to isiZulu vocabulary. Maybe this was a university assignment. I can hardly use this dictionary version as a reference during my lessons. The Phrasebook is interesting and well arranged for specific topics.
