ABOUT
St Mary’s will be hosting the inaugural Maxeke-Mgqwetho Annual Lecture. This initiative created by the Asinukathula Collective seeks to celebrate and share the untold stories of South African women. The Asinukathula Collective is a group of teachers and researchers who seek to counter the erasure of African women from history and public discourse. By using the legacies of Charlotte Maxeke and Ntonizi Mgqwetho, the initiative aims to acknowledge and commemorate the achievements of South African women both past and present.
This year’s keynote speaker is Dr Gcina Mhlophe. Mhlophe is an author, poet, playwright, director, performer and storyteller. Mhlophe’s address will link the impact both Maxeke and Mgqwetho had on the world to modern women’s achievements.
Please join us for an evening of storytelling and discovery.
