    "content": "they would come up with was to force the tea companies to come up with very clear sexual harassment policies. There is also another issue that I wanted to speak to. As a House, we need to call a spade a spade but not a big spoon. Sexual harassment has a very clear definition in the Sexual Offences Act. What Members were referring to here are cases of sexual abuse and rape. When you are talking about sexual harassment, we are cushioning acts which are very bad. It is very difficult sometimes. I remember a case that we were told one time in church. There was a poor lady who was told if she did not say “Amen”, she would be given a blanket. So, this woman kept sitting down. Every time the pastor said something she liked, she could not say “Amen”. However, at some point, she reached a level and said “Amen anyway, blanket or no blanket”. I have reached that level of blanket or no blanket. I will say “Amen”. The “Amen” I am going to say is this: I want to warn the men who are targeting national leaders with sex-shaming like the one we have seen of late. If we cannot protect women at the local level and we, as women leaders, are being targeted, and we want to be quiet because of one, two, or three reasons…. Please excuse me, as women, because I know we had agreed that we would not talk about this issue. However, blanket or no blanket, I will talk because I am very offended. We cannot be treating women like trash or rubbish, or they are the ones who came up with or invented sex. I want to tell women who are shaming, victimising another woman who is already a victim and taking a moral high ground, ‘Shame on you!’ One of my friends said because you have children, do not do this. Who told you that a woman posted photos of herself? You come here and post photos. Who does not have sex? I have sex. Otherwise, why is my name Mrs Mabona? I had it even today. If I had it today, what is the big deal?"
