First black SA woman in landmark Everest summit

Nepal’s tourism department confirmed that Khumalo had made the summit but had no record on whether she was the first black African woman. In 2017, strong winds and frostbite forced Khumalo to give up on Everest, just metres from the summit.

In 2003, South African park ranger Sibusiso Vilane became the first black person to summit Mount Everest. Many Himalayan mountains — including Everest, the world’s highest — are at peak climbing season with the window of good weather between late April and the end of May.
