To say that Amina Cachalia's greatest accomplishment was receiving a marriage proposal from Nelson Mandela is a grave wrongdoing. Her life was nothing less than extraordinary. She was a committed South African activist in the anti-apartheid struggle who helped lead South Africa to freedom. It's no wonder that Mandela had a very strong affection and bond with her. Their decades-long relationship began under South Africa's apartheid regime and continued after Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990, each going through trials and tribulations along the way but always undeterred in their commitment to freedom. In the latest Brown History Newletter, we explore the life of Amina Cachalia, her fight against injustice, and her bond with Nelson Mandela. To read the full story, just tap the link in the bio.
