President Cyril Ramaphosa said it was only fitting that Charlotte Maxeke, who became the first indigenous South African woman to attain a university degree, should have a college named after her

He added that he would take it upon himself to discuss this proposed college with the national education department as well as its provincial counterpart to find a solution. He said it was not enough that there was a hospital in Johannesburg that already carried Maxeke’s name, adding that the birth place of such a critical figure in the liberation struggle also deserved to have a fitting memorial site, and a college – given her academic achievements – was a fitting means of commemorating her.

The governing ANC has declared this the year of Charlotte Maxeke with a focus on unity, renewal and reconstruction.Ramaphosa also handed over a Charlotte Maxeke Agriculture Legacy Project in Fort Beaufort. He said agriculture was a means for people, particularly women, to fend for themselves.
