NDAWO YAMI is an evocative collection, reframing and reimagining the history of our legislature through the feminine lens.

Women have had a different set of rules to follow in society. Sumptuary Laws told women how to dress. Women were not allowed to vote. Legislation such as the Women’s Enfranchisement Act of 1930 reinforced a division between the white and non-white segments of the population. These events led to the beginning of Apartheid, which stripped the rights of non-white South Africans.
