Dr Beverly Palesa Ditsie, “Because you reside in a long lineage of leaders who believe that civil rights must begin as human rights.

Because you have blended artistry with activism in order to raise awareness and create social change… ”
We at impepho press would like to say THANK YOU! You deserve all your flowers! We are, because you have fought to make sure we can All be!
