By Nkanyiso Mchunu Men in South Africa can finally take their wives’ surnames. The Constitutional Court ruling is being praised in many corridors as a victory for equality. Now that the hype is dying down, let’s hold a sober conversation. One of the founding ideals of the post-1994 SA was to emerge with a non-sexist society.
