South Africa, Date Unknown. PHOTO: ANC Archives. This organisation took the demands of the mothers and children to the corridors of power. Poster: FORWARD TO UNITY and COMMITMENT. Among the thousands of political prisoners and detainees incarcerated in South African jails since 1962, there have been hundreds of women who, side by side with the men, have been struggling against the inhuman apartheid regime. Dorothy Nyembe, sentenced to the longest single term of imprisonment handed down to a woman (15 years) may well epitomise them all. Hers has been a life of dedication and sacrifice. We salute her in the year of her release - 1984 - The Year of the Women. (by: ngwedi graphics / Medu Arts)
