Apartheid In South Africa Has Now Been Gone More Than Fifteen Years But The Heroes Of Their Struggle To Achieve A Black Majority-Run Democracy Are Still Being Revealed. Some Individuals Toiled Publicly But Most Worked Tirelessly In The Shadows To Improve The Welfare Of The Black And Coloured Populations That Had Been So Neglected. Nelson Mandela Was Still In Prison; Clean Water And Sanitation Barely Existed; Aids Was Beginning To Orphan An Entire Generation. Meanwhile A White Jewish Middle Class Woman Joined With Tutu Millie Ivy Zora And Other Concerned Black Women Respectfully Called Mamas To Help Those Most In Need Often Being Beaten And Arrested By White Security Police. This Book Tells The Story Of These Women And Others Who Have Spent Their Adult Lives Making South Africa A Better Place For Those Who Were The Country'S Most Disadvantaged.
