"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”

"I think the most important thing we should be teaching young girls is leadership. It is something that has been lacking in young girls and women for a very long time, not because we do not want to, but because of what society has labelled women to be.”

“Regardless of how many years we have spent in this life,

“Leadership is all about providing a vision and a direction for the organisation and the ability to inspire people to go there with you.”
