South Africa: The ANC centenary and women's leadership

The struggle for justice, freedom, equality and dignity for all people especially working-class women and men requires leadership based on knowledge of history, politics, economics, science and culture. Historical knowledge is indispensable to constructing the traditions of progressive struggle for freedom and creating new generations of leaders to transform our world, write Thuto Thipe and Zackie Achmat on the blog Ndifuna Ukwazi, in a post that pays tribute to Black women who created a mass movement that came to build the best traditions of the ANC.
