EDITORIAL
The month of August has been filled with various activities. As we all know, August is women's month in South Africa. In this issue
we will be mainly, focusing on issues surrounding women.
As we all know there are various occasions, functions and webinars taking place this month, particularly around women. We will
start off, looking into the women’s online conference, hosted by SACAP on the 6TH of August. Then a highlight, looking at the
celebrating women month design show, which will be hosted on the 31st of August. Further to the above, we will look into policy
issues, in light of the Draft MOU issued between the competition commission of South Africa and South African council for the
Architectural Profession.
As the Transformation committee, our aim is to rally into this timeline, a significant and distinguished change. How do we move and
re-write the narrative? It’s the transcription of real change, in real time, moving from conversations on site, to changes evident in
the industry and are a true reflection of our current society.
According to Deputy Minister’s speech, Honourable Noxolo Kiviet, at the SACAP women's’ conference, only 23 percent of registered
professionals are women, similarly only 26 percent of registered candidates are women.
