UCT to establish Uyinene Mrwetyana Scholarship via SABCNewsOnline

Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng has described Uyinene Mrwetyana as gifted, bold and an intellectual

University of Cape Town Vice-Chancellor, Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng, has announced the establishment of the Uyinene Mrwetyana Scholarship for women in Humanities studies., at the Abbotsford Christian Centre in East London.“In the past few months, we’ve been left reeling in a wake of abuse and gender-based violence. It’s of little wonder there’s been a call for a state of emergency, we are living in an emergency where young women cannot visit a post office and expect to be safe.

Phakeng has described Mrwetyana as gifted, bold and an intellectual. She says the time has come to march to the Union Buildings again as the women did during the Apartheid era. “Nene has been robbed, we all have been robbed. Horror, disgust, hopelessness, despair – there are many words that described how we are feeling as a community. It’s difficult to lose a child, but it’s much more difficult to lose a child in this way, for me I have lost a daughter.
