In this message, Tukwini Mandela pays homage to Evelyn Mandela, umama wosapho lwethu, the grandmother of our family.
We honour the women whose love became the foundation of generations.
The grandmothers who shaped the women who shaped us.
Whose presence became part of our becoming.
Whose legacy lives quietly, beautifully, in who we are today.
As August and Women’s Month draws to a close, we remember them all.
The women who came before us.
The women who made us.
We must carry their light forward. ✨
