Vusumzi Make
Vusumzi L. Make (1931 – 15 April 2006)[1] was a South African civil rights activist and lawyer.[2] He and the American poet Maya Angelou met in 1961,[3][4] lived together in Cairo, Egypt, and parted ways in 1962.[3][5] He was a professor at the University of Liberia in Monrovia, Liberia from 1968 to 1974.[citation needed]
Time in the Pan Africanist Congress
When Potlako Leballo, Chairman of the Pan Africanist Congress, was forced out of the position, Make joined a Presidential Council consisting of David Sibeko, Ellias Ntloedibe, and himself. Several months later, Make became the sole Chairman.[6] He resigned from the chairmanship in January 1981 to make way for John Nyathi Pokela, who had been recently imprisoned on Robben Island. Under Pokela, Make served as deputy chairman of the PAC.[2]
Death
Make died on 15 April 2006 in Pretoria.[1] He was survived by his widow Alma Liziwe Make and daughter Titise.[citation needed]
