Friends in Fellowship with Nozizwe Charlotte Madlala-Routledge & Jeremy Routledge
May 28, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us online for an evening with Nozizwe Charlotte Madlala-Routledge, former Deputy Minister of Defense and of Health in South Africa, currently Friend in Residence at Haverford College, and Jeremy Routledge, former director of the Quaker Peace Centre in Cape Town.
Times of global crisis, like now under COVID19, are also an opportunity for social transformation and innovation. Join this talk with Nozizwe and Jeremy Routledge, from Southern Africa Quaker Community, as they share stories of hope and courage drawn from their own life-long struggle for peace, equality and justice in South Africa. There will be an interactive Breakout room where you can share your own stories of connecting locally and internationally. Come! Practice hope and courage with Friends.

Hosted virtually by Friends World Committee for Consultation, PYM, Haverford College and Friends Center.
Nozizwe is a Quaker South African politician and activist who started her life of political activism under the tutelage of Steve Biko, a leading light of the grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement. Madlala-Routledge moved on to join the ANC and the South African Communist Party, which were both banned, and was detained a number of times without trial. The latest period was serving a year in solitary confinement.
