There was an understanding amongst the journalists, women and men that these questions were meant for the men around me. On the last question then one of the female journalists brought the microphone to me and said, "Miss Mtintso, in your new responsibility, what are you going to do for women?'". Examples include 'COPE's eager new girl on the block' (Lynda Odendaal) in The Sunday Independent (Ngalwa 2008), 'Woman with her heals on the ground' (Wendy Luhabe) in The Sunday Independent (Forde 2008), 'On campaign with superwoman' (Helen Zille) in the Saturday Star (Warby 2009) and 'Die-hard had to eat her words' (former Deputy President, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka) in The Sunday Independent (Forde 2009). During the swearing-in ceremony after the elections, the then Minister of Defence (now Minister of Public Service and Administration) Lindiwe Sisulu was said to have added 'a touch of glamour to the proceedings' (Smith 2009).
