The six received overwhelming support from 284 MPs, following interviews and screenings by the ad hoc committee on gender equality.

"With the recent surge in the killing of women and children in South Africa, the CGE faces the mammoth task of demystifying gender oppression and leading the struggle against patriarchy and to promote the attainment of gender equality in South Africa," the African National Congress said in a statement.

The commission is tasked with promoting and protecting gender equality in South Africa. It undertakes research, public education, policy development, legislative initiatives, monitoring, and litigation.
