So far most of us are popular with MTV’s Hottest MC ‘Round Table,’ well now they taking things to new levels.
MTV has decided to put together influential Mzansi young women to participate in a special episode of MTV Base Roundtable ‘What Women Want.’
The panelists will discuss whether the Women’s Charter has lived up to its promise and if South African women have achieved the equality they sought.
To ensure relevance in the roundtable forum, MTV Base conducted a research questionnaire with young South African women highlighting the importance of the three different topic points.
Well-known TV and radio personality Masechaba Ndlovu facilitates the What Women Want panel discussion between celebrated musicians Thandiswa Mazwai and Moneoa, presenter Refilwe Modiselle, actress Nomzamo Mbatha and TV personality Mome.
The panel also addresses a number of social ills that take place within family structures, which erode the dignity of women through patriarchy entrenched in religion, traditions, gender roles, sexual abuse and other expectations imposed on women.
The discussion also focuses on social injustices women are faced with in their daily lives – how they should dress to avoid rape, dealing with harassment and disrespect, the judgement and labelling of women who stand up for themselves, date rape and “corrective” rape.
MTV Base Roundtable: What Women Want premieres on Saturday 13 August 2016 at 15:00 on MTV Base, channel 322 on DStv.
