Mama Chikamoneka was incredibly effective at recruiting and was often at the forefront of the protests and marches she organised. She also rallied women to boycott butcheries which abused their African customers and often sold inferior meats.<ref name=stm/> | |||
In 1951, political activism heightened and Mama Chikamoneka became a founder member of the Women’s Brigade. After the transformation of NRAC to [[African National Congress]] (ANC), the members sensed inertia in terms of activism, leading to the formation of a breakaway named [[Zambian African National Congress]] (ZANC). Mama Chikamoneka mobilized several women to join ZANC, believing there was need for a more aggressive group with a sense of direction. | In 1951, political activism heightened and Mama Chikamoneka became a founder member of the Women’s Brigade.
