ii.) Cheryl Carolus is a South African political activist. Her initial entry into becoming an activist began after joining the United Democratic Front and continued from her being a part of organizations such as the African National Congress, became South Africa's HIgh Commissioner in London, and the general secretary of the Federation of South African Women. Cheryl Carolus is the national co-ordinator of the UDF made a speech discussing the role of women in the UDF. She discusses how there is a present unequal economic system, but women play a significant role in supporting that society. She believes that women have a job in South Africa's fight for national liberation, and that "women's oppression will not come to an end unless there is complete national liberation in the country."Carolus also focuses on the bantustan system again which "exploits the whole question of sex." Overall she is advocating for women to come together and realize there significance regardless of the discrimination they are receiving.


iii.) The value of this source is that it provides a non American political side to the feminist movement in the modern era in the country of South Africa. She discusses the present issues of sexism and the concept of the process of forming change. There is value in the fact that it gives an organizations point of view that concerns the issue of politics in the feminist movement in South Africa. This gives a different sense of the way women were treated in a country different from America, where at the time in 1985 were still considered to have the job of staying at home and nothing else. The limitations of this source are that it is bias to the other things going on in South Africa concerning the feminist movement as well as the support and the negative feedback this received.

iv.) This source shows what is needed in order to achieve the goals of this organization and Cheryl Carolus, which is change. "Women's oppression will not come to an end unless there is complete national liberation in the country; and we don't see the two processes separate- and for that reason we would see women organizing themselves as women forming part of the national democratic struggle in our country" stated in Carolus' speech presents the idea that this is not just an issue of women's rights but must be a national issue. She also touches on the fact that "there's no way that there can be change in a country if half the population is not forming that change and in fact benefit from that change"  along with the statistic that women in South Africa form 51% of the population. Women taking up half of the population of South Africa is a very significant thing because of the room of opportunity they have to stand up and make a change and grasp the attention and ultimate support of the remaining 49% of the population.
