Theresa Solomon was a fearless leader from Cape Town who fought hard against apartheid and stood up for her community’s rights. Growing up in the vibrant yet troubled District Six, she turned pain into power by leading efforts for better housing, education, and services in places like Mitchells Plain. As Cape Town’s first black female mayor, she showed the world that change starts with listening and working together. Her life inspired many to keep fighting for justice and hope in South Africa.
