Introducing the newly installed Chancellor of Nelson Mandela University, Dr Grace Naledi Mandisa Pandor

Charlotte Maxeke was born on this day in 1871 to John and Anna (née Manci) Mannya. Today marks the 155th anniversary of her birth. Maxeke was present at the founding of the ANC but was never its member because the ANC did not extend membership to women until 1943, which was 4 years after her death in 1939. But that very extension of membership to women was the fruit of her relentless engagements with the organisation individually and through the Bantu Women’s League, the organisation she founded in 1918 5 years after she led the 1913 women’s anti-pass campaign.

@xevekiah I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for telling your story, I know the memories are painful. 💔

“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.” When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough. Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?” Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime. He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks. That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.

I would like to congratulate my mentor Dr Ndiviwe Mphothulo (@Nmphothulo) on the occasion of the completion of his PhD. Dr Mphothulo has been an activist from the age of 12 years, active in COSAS and as a youth leader in Soweto. As a Medical Doctor, he is an activist for equal and rural health. Dr Mphothulo is also an author of two books, Medicine and Activism and Soweto Rising. Clearly the spirits of the likes of Dr William Soga, Dr John Mavuma Nembula, Dr Nthato Motlana and other Medical Doctors/Activists continue through this remarkable South African.

The homeless man outside my University had a PhD in literature. I only found out because I dropped my book walking past him one day. He picked it up, looked at the cover, and said, "Ah, Virginia Woolf. Have you read her essays on consciousness?" One medical bankruptcy and a series of cascading disasters later, he's been on that corner for three years. "The difference between us," he said, "is about six months of bad luck." I think about that every time I complain about my problems.

@soigomaa the way you treat them at that point is usually subconsciously dictated by how they treated you when you were the child in the relationship though

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

Running this back because it's important to remember Solomon Mahlangu's death happened on this day in 1979 because the National Party government wanted to celebrate their invasion of African soil by way of a human sacrifice. White supremacy is witchcraft. Honour to Kalushi, always.

Three South African police officers have been arrested for escorting a drug shipment worth millions along the N4. Reports indicate that they were escorting a Toyota Corolla loaded with 107 bags of drugs, with an estimated street value running into millions of rands..
