Sinegugu Zukulu and Nonhle Mbuthuma are courageous leaders in the fight to protect their ancestral lands in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. As members of the Amadiba community, they have been at the forefront of the struggle against mining projects that threaten their sacred land, livelihoods, and environment. Nonhle, a co-founder of the Amadiba Crisis Committee, and Sinegugu, a passionate environmental educator, work tirelessly to preserve the integrity of their community and the delicate ecosystems around it. For them, this is more than a campaign—it’s a commitment to honoring their ancestors and securing a sustainable future for generations to come. Their activism has inspired a powerful movement grounded in the belief that Indigenous rights and environmental protection are inseparable, and they continue to stand as symbols of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
