Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
In 1996, Nelson Mandela appointed Mlambo-Ngcuka, then a teacher, as Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry. She went on to become the first woman Deputy President of South Africa, overseeing programs to combat poverty and bring the advantages of a growing economy to the poor, with a particular focus on women. A longtime advocate of women’s rights, she is affiliated with several organizations devoted to education, women’s empowerment and gender equality, and is the driving force behind the UN’s HeForShe initiative.
