ProposalDescription: 

Lilian Masediba Ngoyi and Helen Joseph, Charlotte Mmakgomo Maxeke were also involved in the protests on the Witwatersrand about equality and better working conditions for women. The introduction of Lilian Ngoyi and Helen Joseph into politics was co-incidentally through a General Secretary of the Garment Workers Union, Lillian as an ordinary factory worker and Helen as a Union official and a close friend. This was in 1952 during the National Defiance Campaign called by the Congress Alliance in terms of the African National Congress's 1949 Programme of Action

Expanded_Motivation: 

The graves of Charlotte Makhomo Maxeke, Helen Joseph and Lilian Ngoyi is a tangible representation of their significant contribution to cultural development , education, cross --cultural exchange, African independent churches, advocacy of non-racialism, trade unionism, women's rights and participation in resistance politics. The location within the historic cemetery of Nancefield and Avalon is on its own a significant tangible heritage representation that portray a sad chapter in South African history of forced removals, oppression of human rights, and destruction of historical urban settlement.
