WOMEN should just chill at home.

This is according to Al Jama-ah leader Ganief Hendricks.

He told SAfm on Tuesday, 12 March, that women shouldn't go to work but stay at home and look after their husbands and children.

He said it was the responsibility of men to look after women.

"In the case of Islam, women are allowed to be entrepreneurs and own empires and don’t have to contribute to their own basic needs. That’s the responsibility of men and if they are not married it is the responsibility of their fathers and brothers,” said Hendricks.

He said though women can prosper professionally, it was not their burden.

He said they were not forced to stay at home but the onus was on the concept of fatherhood.

Hendricks said: 

“If we focus on the concept of fatherhood, men must start taking responsibility. Women have the option to take care of themselves and it is very noble of them to do so. But at the end of the day, men must not escape their responsibilities and get women have that burden.”

Al Jama-ah launched its 2024 election manifesto at Harmony Primary School in Lenasia, south of Joburg on 9 March.

Hendricks said women can play important roles in taking the lead and he said Mzansi needed more women leaders.

He criticised the ANC-led government for not having a policy on family.

“The government doesn’t have a family policy. The family policy should revolve around strong fatherhood that would save the nation,” he said.

He denied their policy was oppressing women.

“A woman can do more that a man. But at the end of the day, the name in the box is a woman has to care for the man, the brothers and fathers and care for their siblings. But that doesn’t put any obstacle in the way of women to rise to the top to take the lead, to build wealth and empires,” he said.
