Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka and the ANC Women's League in Tshwane have condemned attacks on people from other countries in various parts of South Africa.
On Friday Mlambo-Ngcuka visited three areas in the Western Cape affected by violence on people from other countries, said spokesperson Denzil Taylor.
"The visit was to assess the situation on the ground, speak to all stakeholders and talk to government's interventions on the ground.
During a fundraising dinner on Friday night Mlambo-Ngcuka said there was no eradication of poverty without the empowerment of women.
''It is women who look after the family. If you address the issue of women, you address the issues of poverty in the family."
She also announced that government would soon launch the 'anti-poverty war room', announced by President Thabo Mbeki earlier in 2008.
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said the anti-poverty war room would announce specific interventions that will address poverty, with definite targets of how the plight of the seven million unemployed in the country will be addressed. - Sapa
