Zuma, speaking at the closing of the Pan African Women's Organisation in Gauteng, said women in key and leadership positions have earned those positions and men were not just doing them a favour by putting them there.
"Women are not being done a favour by men if voted into positions of power and influence... they have earned this right through decades of hard work. African women have a key role to play in the formulation of strategies and plans for the development of their respective countries and continent," he said.
The four-day meeting was attended by more than 350 representatives from all of the 53 African Union member states.
