  • Nokutule Dube: 'First Lady' of Resistance and Resilience
    Nov 8 2025

    In this thought-provoking episode, Tracy DW delves into the life of Nokutule Dube, a pioneering figure in South Africa's political landscape during the colonial and apartheid eras. Often overshadowed by her more famous contemporary, Winnie Mandela, Nokutule's remarkable achievements and unwavering spirit are brought to the forefront as Tracy explores her legacy and the profound impact she had on the fight for freedom.

    Listeners are invited to reflect on the broader historical context of Nokutule's life, including the socio-political changes in South Africa and the legacy of the ANC. Tracy urges us to recognise the often-overlooked contributions of figures like Nokutule and to appreciate the complexity of history as a tapestry of perspectives. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of acknowledging and preserving the achievements of African leaders who have shaped the course of history.
