On Friday 27th of March 2027 Kingswood will welcome the Mrwetyana family, Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, Rev Pumla Nzimande and the Uyinene Mrwetyana Foundation to our annual Uyinene Mrwetyana Commemorative Lecture.

 

On 24 August 2019, Uyinene Mrwetyana (OK 2018) fell victim to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and was brutally murdered. Her loss was felt deeply within the Kingswood and Makhanda communities, but it was South Africa that responded. The brutality of her killing led to widespread outrage in South Africa, sparking marches across the country under the banner hashtag#AmINext and igniting a movement highlighting the scourge of gender-based violence.
