Cape Talk

Those women, and we shouldn't talk about slave women, but women who were enslaved, because there is no such thing as a slave. It is people who became slaves that many of them are the foremothers of many South African families. Kutuha, daughter Pitanella, the enslaved women that I have there.

Of them, I mean, she owned several farms, and even today's Camps Bay, which is one of the richest areas on the Atlantic seaboard, that was one of her farms, only one of her farms. And she was born a slave girl, so to say, but a girl who was enslaved and how she learned to become an entrepreneur, really, back in those days. Against all odds.

I mean, it's just the most wonderful, inspiring collection of stories. And Lizette, one can see how much passion and time has been poured into the researching of this book. It's a delight, and I'm so glad we've had the opportunity to share a little bit of insight with our audience today and to say to you, thank you for creating it and wishing you all the best. Thank you so much for joining us on the show today. Thank you, and the very best to all our women in South Africa. Professor Lizette Rabi is the author of 101 Remarkable South African Women.
