Episode 3- Mme Victoria Nonyamezelo Mxenge

Conversations With La Nkosi

The month August holds a specific significance in the consciousness of our nation, it it that time of the year where we give more prominence than any other month to the resilience, courageousness and steadfastness of women the torch bearers of our aspirations and dreams. It is these women who made it possible for a young black woman like me to articulate, speak my truth and stand my ground. It would be very weird for me not to celebrate these women and their work. I am here because of them. Among these South African Heroines is the beautiful Mme Victoria Nonyamezelo Mxenge, may her spirit continue to live on in our hearts and may her legacy continue to shine on in the lives of those it was meant to empower and change for the better. In today's episode we celebrate the life of uMama Victoria Nonyamezelo Mxenge also highlighting the disgusting hand the apartheid regime had in her and her husband's assassination.
