Gendered power dynamics have been pivotal in shaping African political transitions, particularly in South Africa where gender inequality and empowerment are critical factors.

This theoretical framework underscores the importance of gender-specific policies to enhance inclusive governance and promote sustainable development in South Africa. Policy makers should prioritise gender-sensitive interventions to ensure equitable representation and participation of women across all sectors of government.
