Inanda Seminary stands as a beacon of educational excellence and a testament to the power of female empowerment. Since its founding in 1869 by American Board Missionaries Rev. Daniel Lindley and his wife Lucy, this esteemed institution has been dedicated to providing young girls with the same opportunities as their male counterparts, long before such equality was the norm.
Inanda Seminary's commitment to girls' education has borne remarkable fruit. Notable alumnae include Baleka Mbete, the former Speaker of the National Assembly of South Africa, and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the former United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women. These trailblazers, along with countless others, are a testament to the seminary's enduring impact.
