To the Tribe [family] that came to see him off, they say it takes a village to raise a child. Thank you very much. AmaNtungwa [clan name] ayabonga [say thank you].

More quotes by Basetsana Kumalo

I think patriarchy is an issue all over the world, not just in Africa. Men have been running the world for so long that modern women have no choice but to take back their power.

She’s strong and stands tall but also gentle, loving and compassionate.

The modern woman is whoever and whatever she wants to be, because she is fiercely independent but also open with her vulnerabilities.

Just go forth and aim for the skies. I may not carry you in my arms anymore, but I will always carry you in my heart.

Regarding representation, I think we have to use our power as consumers. Do your research and support the brands which are serious about representing you and people who look like you.
