Gender Equality | Oppression of black women

Nombulelo Shange’s, a Sociology lecturer at the University of the Free State. She’s penned a strong opinion piece about the oppression of black women in higher education. It is thought-provoking in that it showcases strong women leaders, who have been victimized instead of lauded like their male counterparts. One, in particular, is, Prof. Nthabiseng Ogude, who was pushed out of office halfway through her contract. She was portrayed as aloof. There are many more examples, but the margins that women are confined to are seriously worrying. Courtesy #DStv403
