Rhodes University will on Friday posthumously confer an honorary degree of Doctor of Literature (DLitt) on cultural activist and diplomat Lindiwe Mabuza.
As the tributes continued to pour in for South Africa’s Lindiwe Mabuza, who passed away on 6 December 2021, it was clear that she will be remembered for the many different roles she occupied during her lifetime. She was called ambassador, diplomat, feminist, poet, writer, freedom fighter, lea.
Born in 1938 in Newcastle, South Africa, she was undoubtedly an advocate for women’s rights, and she foregrounded women’s concerns at a time when the struggle against apartheid surpassed the rights of women.
