On April 7, 1871, a baby was born in the hills of the Eastern Cape. She grew up to become a formidable trailblazer in our country.
I have had the honour of telling Mam Charlotte’s story and present it to you as Beauty of the Heart, The Life and Times of Charlotte Mannya Maxeke. On the cover, you see a photograph of her at age 21. It is a photograph that remained largely hidden for 125 years but has now burst into our consciousness connecting her soul to ours.
She was part of a forward-looking group of young people that included the famous journalist and writer Sol Plaatje in Kimberley in the last century. They worked steadily to educate themselves and bring education to others so that the talents of this country could come to fruition. She told us to not live above people but to live with them. She also said: “If you can rise, bring someone with you.” We have to think deeply about these words and others that she uttered in her lifetime. They will guide us through the rough waters that we are passing through right now.
