This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to the CEO of BP Southern Africa, Ms Taelo Mojapelo. She shares key career and life moments that have shaped her, with courage being a guiding force. We discuss the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles and factors affecting this, from underdeveloped soft skills to operating in a patriarchal environment. We highlight the responsibility of female leaders to not only develop upcoming women but open opportunities for them to ascend to the top. For example, BP Southern Africa now has 45% female representation at executive level.

In light of the 26th United Nations Climate Change conference (31 Oct – 12 Nov 2021) we discuss pertinent issues contributing to climate change in Tanzania that have a detrimental effect on the agriculture sector, such as deforestation, land degradation, water pollution and sources of energy. Tanzania is one of only two countries amongst Africa’s 54 nations to be led by a female president (President Samia Suluhu Hassan), and Dr. Tarimo shares her views about the positive impact a female president has on reducing gender inequality. For example, combating traditional views that priortised educating boys over girls because girls would marry into another family and thus the investment in girl’s education would be a loss to her family.
