Celebrate our heroines before they’re gone, says Zukiswa Wanner — Award-winning author and publisher Zukiswa Wanner believes South Africans have a habit of waiting until their icons have died before celebrating them, according to a recent article on sundayworld.co.za. Wanner, known for her literary contributions and publishing work, is calling for a cultural shift in how the country honors its female figures. She argues that the tendency to only recognize women after they are gone reflects a broader societal issue. The article highlights Wanner’s concern about the lack of immediate acknowledgment of women’s achievements. This sentiment is part of a growing conversation about gender recognition in South Africa.
