This is a foreword by Professor Sipho Seepe on a book titled ’Celebrating Edna Bomo Molewa’.
This book is an attempt to stitch together the various commentaries, speeches and outpouring of grief and emotions that were expressed in the wake of the untimely passing of the former Minister Edna Bomo Molewa.
This book, a professional portrait of the late minister, is not intended to be the last word. The speeches were carefully selected and restricted to her professional life through the eyes of her staff and colleagues. Indeed, this may well be the first among a few books or booklets that will celebrate Molewa's contribution to her community, party, parliament, country and the rest of humanity.
Even so, she made it her goal to highlight that science and technology are meaningless unless it is used to advance and resolve the challenges of ordinary people.No task was too big to handle or too complicated to comprehend and to master. For her, it was a case of being both hands-on and brains on. As if to amplify the point, Mantashe asserted: “I found her to be very intellectual in content, reading, understanding issues, persuade people by the force of argument and logic and not impose ideas on anybody.”
The honour by the French government is perhaps one of the finest in global terms. She was bestowed with the Officier de l’Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur , the highest award that is bestowed to a foreign national. The honour was in recognition of “Minister Edna Molewa’s commitment to South Africa, the struggle for freedom and democracy, women’s rights and the fight against climate change sets an example for us all. France will always be grateful for your contribution.
