Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM), Haverford College, and the Friends World Committee for Consultation are hosting an online event 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. Share your stories of connecting locally and internationally. Practice hope and courage with Friends. Additional information is available on the FWCC website.

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.
