Pretoria – The upcoming Rural Women’s Summit is expected to focus on development programmes to help address poverty among rural women.

Ahead of the opening of the two-day summit on Friday in Limpopo, Minister for Women, Children and People with Disabilities, Lulu Xingwana, will visit various rural development projects run by women and people with disabilities around Tzaneen in Mopani District.

The aim of the visit is to gain first-hand information about experiences of women involved in rural development projects.

Xingwana and Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale are expected to address the opening session to be held in the evening at Karibu Lodge near Tzaneen.
