The Centre for Mediation in Africa, in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands hosted an event celebrating the conclusion of the Ukuthula Project, a four-year project that focuses on women traditional leaders and the unique challenges they face which includes the disconnect between them and key stakeholders at the provincial and national government levels.
