We will quench our thirst in the fruits of her labour
This in in honour of our dear mother, grandmother, sister and aunt Regina Buyiswa Gxekwa, a brave warrior who dedicated her adult life to serving the rural poor on the outskirts of Whittlesea in the Eastern Cape, and all those like her.
She spent the last 12 years of a 30-year career of community nursing at Hackney (eHekeni) clinic in the Whittlesea district. Hackney is mostly inhabited by the poor and elderly.
