Julia Nompi Mavimbela (20 December 1917[1] – 16 July 2000[2]) was a leader of women's organizations in South Africa.
Mavimbela was a president of the group National Women of South Africa. She also organized Women for Peace, a group that aimed to have a peaceful transition to true democracy in South Africa.[3] She was involved in organizing garden planting initiatives in Soweto.[4]
Mavimbela joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1981. She has since served as a Relief Society president and a public affairs director in the church.[5] In 1995, she was honored at Brigham Young University for "outstanding contribution to a profession, a community, a religion."[6] She was featured in the LDS Church video Lives of Service.[2][7]
She was married, but her husband John was killed in 1955, leaving her widowed with her several children.[8]
Famous quote
"I was blessed to get an education available to few black women in Africa at that time. Every woman should be able to get an education so she can serve others."[9]
