The Cultural Explorer, a US-based tour operator specialising in cultural and philanthropic travel in South Africa, has announced an exclusive tour "designed to introduce adventurous North American mothers and daughters to the resilient women and children of South Africa."

"I have mixed emotions and am a bit scared. I guess being scared is a good sign?" These words from Lindi Mophuti, the first black woman to be appointed manager of a FabLab in South Africa, effectively sum up her personality.

Fresh from a two-month tour of Europe and the international release of her album Zandisile, Simphiwe Dana talks about the people, places and events that have shaped her belief in music that speaks to the heart and reaches for the heavens.

SA History Online's special project on the women's struggle in South Africa, featuring an excellent range of biographies, milestones, photographs, links and other resources.
