Kuli Roberts will always be remembered for her good deeds According to Africa Brief, Kuli was a notable activist who was well-known for taking a firm stand on several issues, patriarchy being one of them. She refused to serve as a capitalist tool of patriarchy. As a result, she was fired from many prestigious job positions. “She was opposed to supremacist racism, patriarchy, capitalism, and the anti-black sentiments that pervade this country. She was a fresh and insightful female African voice that sensed the trauma and pain of the majority.”
With all of Kuli’s good deeds combined, her family lost a beloved family member, and South Africa lost a compassionate citizen. Rest in peace, mbokodo!
