Nozizwe is a Quaker South African politician and activist who started her life of political activism under the tutelage of Steve Biko, a leading light of the grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement. Madlala-Routledge moved on to join the ANC and the South African Communist Party, which were both banned, and was detained a number of times without trial. The latest period was serving a year in solitary confinement.
