They were oppressed three times more than us as men, and therefore, we have a duty to compensate them because they\u2019ve gone through pain, and they still go through pain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He linked this call for financial support to broader issues of gender-based violence, urging men to protect, respect, and provide for women in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Absent Fathers<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the problem of absent fathers, Malema proposed that under an EFF government, men who fail to pay child maintenance would be blacklisted, preventing them from participating economically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you don\u2019t support your child, you are creating a criminal in our community,\u201d he warned, stressing the long-term harm caused by neglecting parental responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Part of a Larger Gender Equality Conversation<\/p>\n<p>Malema\u2019s remarks come amid a wider national focus on women\u2019s empowerment. During the official National Women\u2019s Day commemorations, President Cyril Ramaphosa also underscored the importance of financial empowerment for women.<\/p>\n<p>Julius Malema comments have since generated significant buzz on social media, drawing both praise and criticism. Supporters have applauded his call for accountability and economic justice, while detractors argue that his proposals oversimplify complex socio-economic issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Zambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
