Cecilia Makiwane

Cecilia Makiwane (1880–1919) was the first African registered professional nurse in South Africa and an early activist in the struggle for women's rights. When she received her license as a nurse on the 7 January 1908, the only other women of colour who were trained as nurses were Maori women in New Zealand. She served the Lovedale Hospital in the Eastern Cape as a nurse until she had to quit due to ill health. She died in 1919 at the age of 39.
