Mme Charlotte was particularly passionate about the education of women. For her, education was that critical ingredient for “the all-round development of women”, as the constitution of the ANC Women’s League describes it. https://t.co/BVtg0Z1rTn — PolitiTweet.org

In reflecting on this, we come to understand that even though patriarchy may be a dominant current in a society, it should not be that it is surrendered to. Men can and must lead by example in treating women equally, and it begins in the home. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org

Theirs was a partnership rooted in intellectual and professional respect, something that was rare at the time. The worked together as missionaries and as educators. They also co-parented their child, also unusual at that time. #CharlotteMaxeke150 https://t.co/6xxcdPX9fd — PolitiTweet.org

Mme Charlotte and her husband Dr. Marshall Maxeke founded the Wilberforce Institute in Evaton that is still standing today. Over the years they did important work in primary and secondary education. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org

Charlotte Maxeke and Du Bois also discussed education as a vehicle for national development. This is particularly important to today’s theme of Women in Academia in the 150th Year of Charlotte Maxeke. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Like her contemporaries Pixley ka Isaka Seme, John Langalibalele Dube, Alfred B. Xuma and others, Charlotte Maxeke was a progressive internationalist, long before liberation movements around the world adopted it as a doctrine. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org

In their letters they discuss how to mobilize around upcoming pan-African conferences and meetings. Du Bois offers his view on some of her writings she has sent him, and he sends her copies of his own to distribute. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org

She was taught by the legendary sociologist, historian and activist W.E.B Du Bois. They continued to correspond over the years, even after returned to South Africa. #CharlotteMaxeke150 https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org

Mme Maxeke initially entered academia to prepare for life as a missionary in Africa. But during her studies she came to appreciate the international character of the struggle against racism and colonialism, and her worldview expanded. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There can be no doubt that much of who she would become was shaped by her exposure at Wilberforce to currents, trends and ideologies like socialism, class struggle, pan-Africanism and the New Negro movement. #CharlotteMaxeke150 https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org

She was one of many leaders who were not only literate but who propagated the values and principles of our movement in their published writings. This is a lesson we all need to learn from and emulate even today. #CharlotteMaxeke150 https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In publications like Umteteli wa Bantu, she wrote in isiXhosa on the so-called woman question, and called for women’s social and political rights to not be neglected during the anticolonial struggle. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
She was also a public intellectual. Her output in the form of articles, pamphlets & representations to panels & commissions lent empirical weight to her activism. She was published at a time when the voices of black women were being shut down & silenced. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
She was a champion for gender equality and one of the organizers of the anti-pass movement. In 1918 she formed the Bantu Women’s League, the forerunner to the ANC Women’s League. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As the people of South Africa we have been blessed to have had great women leaders who dedicated themselves - their time, effort, and talent - to enable us to bask in the freedom that they fought so hard for. https://t.co/q6UdSxQWw0 — PolitiTweet.org

We are going through a difficult time economically & politically; cde Winnie Madikizela Mandela would have been at the forefront, arguing that we need to continue with the project of uniting the ANC; because when you unite the ANC, ipso facto, you unite the South African nation. https://t.co/wGrULCOkzh — PolitiTweet.org

Today we remember a person who put the interests of the African National Congress ahead of her own. Coming here means drawing inspiration from a great memory of the life of Winnie Madikizela Mandela. Her name will endure and remain prominent in the annals of our great movement. https://t.co/2bkCI1bGgB — PolitiTweet.org
