In a powerful display of astute leadership and unwavering resolve, Zingiswa Losi, a formidable force on both the national and global stages, masterfully countered Donald Trump’s narrative on South Africa during a high-level meeting at the White House. Her confident articulation of truth in such a prominent international forum speaks volumes about her strength and commitment to her nation.

Born in 1975, Losi’s journey is a beacon of inspiration, charting her path from a dedicated anti-apartheid activist to making history as the first female president of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Her influence radiates far beyond COSATU, as she continues to wield significant power and drive change within the African National Congress (ANC), the South African Communist Party (SACP), and the Southern African Trade Union Coordinating Council (SATUCC). Losi stands as a magnificent testament to the transformative power of women in leadership, tirelessly championing workers’ rights, spearheading economic transformation, and fostering vital cooperation between nations.
