I don’t blame anyone for not being exposed to the radical feminist outliers who have paved the way for us, because men made DAMN SURE that they isolated these women.

I’d like to start a thread of these women. Please add and reply below.
Pregs Govender: author, actvist, feminist. The ONLY member of parliament who resigned out of conscience after the infamous Arms Deal.

She was also an ardent vocal feminist opponent of JZ during & after the rape trial. #RememberPregs #RememberWomen #RememberKhwezi
Thenjiwe Mtintso: the highest ranking woman in Umkhonto we Sizwe during the liberation movement. Ran the MK camp in Uganda among others.

Became a member of parliament, a gender commissioner & a diplomat. One of the only NEC members to openly oppose JZ during his presidency.
