‘The freezing loneliness made one wish for death,’ journalist Joyce Sikhakhane-Rankin said of solitary confinement. With seven other women, including Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, she was held for more than a year. This is the story of these heroic women, their refusal to testify in the ‘Trial of 22’ in 1969, their brutal detention and how they picked up their lives afterwards.

Inside the female resistance to apartheid
.....
Thoko died in 1995 at her home in Alex, a year after the first democratic elections.
In 2012, a plaque was unveiled in her memory at a Marlboro clinic named after her, the Thoko Mngoma Clinic. According to the City of Johannesburg’s official website, residents of Alexandra came in their numbers to honour the woman considered by many to be ‘the mother of the community, an organiser and a revolutionary’.
