The South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) will hold an emergency board meeting on Wednesday to discuss CEO Manglin Pillay’s widely criticised comments about women.
SAICE said in a statement it was aware of the current controversy caused by Pillay after he penned a column in the July Civil Engineering magazine questioning whether South Africa should be investing so heavily into attracting females into STEM as evidence showed women are "predisposed" to caring and people-orientated careers.
