was a prominent figure in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. As a teenager she joined the black nationalist African National Congress (ANC) Youth League, where she met Oliver Tambo. They were married in 1956 and went into exile when the ANC was banned in 1960. For the next 30 years, while her husband traveled and directed the ANC from exile in Zambia, she lived with their three children in England, where she worked as a nurse and campaigned against apartheid. The Tambos were reunited in South Africa in 1990. After her husband's death in 1993, Ma (or Mama) Tambo, as she was widely known, served one term (1994–99) in the democratically elected multiracial Parliament.
