Kate Serokolo

Kate Serokolo (full name Motshidisi Kate Serokolo) was a South African anti-apartheid activist from Mamelodi who was imprisoned under the Terrorism Act. Quotes “There were soldiers all over, even on the bed where I was in the labour ward; the soldiers were surrounding my bed. My doctor, whom I remember very well, Dr. van der Walt, asked those soldiers to move away from the room because I cannot help this woman with you around. They were all men. They refused. … They stood there … and I gave birth in their presence looking at me, laughing at me when I was having labour pains. I was like a joke to them.” SABC Truth Commission Special Report “It was terrible. Really it was terrible because by that time I did cry and then sometimes praying for myself that if God can take my life with the child, maybe it will be better. Because there was no privacy. … It hurts me, especially when I see my son.” SABC Truth Commission Special Report External links Category:Women from South Africa Category:Anti-apartheid activists Category:Living people
