Nyameka Goniwe is the Director of the Community Healing Project at the Masizame Centre in Lingelihle, the Cradock township where her husband Matthew Goniwe lived and worked. The Project aims to bring healing to the people of Lingelihle, still traumatized by the loss of their community leaders during the apartheid times, and to bring integration between the black, white and coloured communites of Cradock, still culturally, geographically and economically separated even in the new South Africa of today.

The programme has been funded by a grant from the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation , and also by the generous support of the Matthew Goniwe School of Leadership and Governance.
