Chairperson, last month we convened a national Rural Women's Summit in Limpopo. Representatives of women from all provinces outlined the challenges facing them such as lack of access to land and water. Those who have secured land want developmental finance and access to markets for their produce. They also want skills development programmes that will enable them to achieve sustainable livelihoods where they live. We will be working with the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform as well as the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to ensure that these aspirations of women are integrated into the rural development strategy for the country.
