Zimbabwe: My Zimbabwean Sheroe

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Zimbabwe, Women & Gender

Amy Tsanga is Rumbidzai Dube's Zimbabwean sheroe [1]:

Here was a woman who lived through an era when the education of girls was not a priority yet she had done it and done it well too. She was my lecturer and I idolised her or was it, uh, hero-worshipping. Gentle, yet firm, she spoke so eloquently and confidently and we all hung onto her every word. She reinforced my conviction that women’s rights are human rights; as inalienable, indivisible an interdependent as any other right in relation to other rights.
