What are Thami and Isabel's views on the topic

Thami argues that African culture is in "great peril" (p.8) because of Western colonial influence. Specifically, he argues that a woman's role is to be in the home, rather than to work the same jobs as men. At one point, he even makes the audience laugh by saying that he does not have milk in his breasts to feed children while his wife digs roads. He ends by asking the audience to vote for him.

Mr. M calls on Isabel, who is from Camdeboo Girls High School. She stands with determination and makes her closing statement for the point of view that women should be allowed to hold the same jobs as men. She argues that Africa is held back by clinging to traditional, primitive values. She also warns that arguments based on differences between sexes can easily be expanded to other groups people hold prejudices against.
