Speaking at the launch of the Uyinene Mrwetyana Foundation in Makhanda this week, Nomangwane Mrwetyana said this was one way they would honour her daughter's legacy and celebrate everything she stood for.
The school's High Performance Centre was the venue for moving and inspiring presentations by friends, high-profile activists and Nomangwane herself. Holistic support for survivors meant providing social, mental, spiritual, physical and emotional support.Strategic partners would be healthcare workers, healthcare facilities, holistic well-being service providers and the police.
Mahlatsi and Dean of Research at the University of Fort Hare Professor Pumla Gqola shared the dreams for safety and well-being of a group of young people who earlier had participated in a hackathon intended to focus on the foundation's vision and mission. Rhodes University vie-cancellor Sizwe Mabizela was among those who earlier marched with the foundation's banner through the city, as did school principals Colleen Vassiliou , Warren Schmidt and Joubert Retief .
