"Because I will never be proud of anything that doesn't have women in it. It's a failure to all of you. It's a disrespect from all of you. You don't see even a single woman to be worthy to be part of the top five."

SABC News also noted that Malema said his party hopes to get more votes from the province in the upcoming elections. Per the publication, the opposition party garnered more than 155 000 votes when South Africans went to the polls the last time. He added:
