Almost 5,000 people waited for hours in the rain at a swabbing event in Worcester, to get tested to see if they were a match to help save the life of a five-year-old boy fighting a rare cancer, after his parents asked for help
"My heart sank as I entered the room allocated to us at Fort Prison. The hangman’s scale was in a corner. I was shaking with trepidation and I could not speak. Solomon by contrast was strong and composed. He saw his role was to comfort and console me. He told me his last message to an unkind world: ‘Tell my people that I love them. Tell them to continue the fight. My blood will nurture the tree that bears the fruits of freedom.’"- Solomon Mahlangu's attorney, the human rights lawyer and anti-apartheid activist Priscilla Jana, pictured here with MaNgutyana, reflects on Mahlangu's final moments before he was hanged at 6AM on this day in 1979.

Juby Mayet (1937 – 2019) was a South African journalist, writer, and political activist who pioneered a path for black women in the media during the apartheid era. Known for her sharp, "jazz-inflected" writing style and fearless reporting, she spent over two decades at iconic publications like Drum magazine and the Golden City Post. Joining the Golden City Post in 1957 as a cub reporter, she became one of the few women in the male-dominated "Drum School" of journalism. She covered everything from recipes and fashion to high-stakes political issues, including the Sharpeville Massacre and the Immorality Act. She preferred the title "freedom writer" to traditional journalist. She was a founding member of the Union of Black Journalists (UBJ) and later served as the Deputy Editor of The Voice, a political weekly.

@FreshTshepi That’s her on the front cover of the book, bottom right in between Ntate Maponya and ntate Mpanza. Her name was Caroline Kinini Tshabalala (née Ngcobo).
@FreshTshepi Thanks for this inspiring post. Just one thing: the business was built by Mr. and Mrs. Tshabalala. They were very much a team, and he was always the first person to point this out: he was a bus conductor and she was a domestic worker when they met. Together, they made magic.
