Field of study?[edit]

Why the focus on personal stuff like religion? What did she study, where, doesn't she have a PhD? She was in exile for 20 years, if I understand correctly. Doesn't this need to be documented here? --WiseWoman (talk) 09:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC) Here's a link, just don't have time to write now [1]--WiseWoman (talk) 09:37, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

1. during the period of 1973 and 1977 doesn't make sense. Does it mean from 1973 to 1977 or in 1973 and 1977 respectively?

2. to receive Diploma in Leadership (receive a Diploma).

3. from University of Stellenbosch (from the University).

4. University of Bophuthatswana is overlinked.

5. At that exact time. As it was a two-year period, remove "exact".

6. Several references to individual elections are written as "ccyy general elections" but there was only one of each so mention each one in singular.

7. Jacob Zuma is overlinked.

8. Link Minister of Home Affairs (South Africa) on first occurrence in narrative.

There are some grammatical and linkage points above which need to be addressed but otherwise this is looking okay and I should be able to pass it on completion. On hold for seven days. No Great Shaker (talk) 15:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
