Quote of the Day brings you spoken word from some of the most eloquent South Africans from across the spectrum.

Albertina Sisulu

RECENT QUOTE OF THE DAY POSTS:

“Women are the people who are going to relieve us from all this oppression and depression. The rent boycott that is happening in Soweto now [in the 1980s] is alive because of the women. It is the women who are on the street committees educating the people to stand up and protect each other”

Nontsikelelo Albertina Sisulu was a South African anti-apartheid activist, and the wife of fellow activist Walter Sisulu. She was affectionately known as “Ma Sisulu” throughout her lifetime by the South African public. In 2004 she was voted 57th in the SABC3’s Great South Africans. She died on 2 June 2011 in her home in Linden, Johannesburg, South Africa, aged 92.
