Thenjiwe Mtinso

UThenjiwe Mtintso, wazalwa nge-7 kaNovemba ngo-1950 eSoweto eRhawutini apho wakhulela khona. Umama wakhe uHanna Mtintso wayengumsebenzi wasekhaya kwaye utata wakhe uGana Makabeniwas wayeyinyunyana nombutho olilungu le-African National Congress (ANC). UMtintso wajongana neengxaki zemali ezonakalisa imfundo yakhe. Ngenxa yoko, wanyanzeleka ukuba asiyeke isikolo kwaye asebenze ngokusisigxina kumzi-mveliso ohlukeneyo ukuze afumane imali yokufunda kwizikolo zesekondari nakwiYunivesithi yaseFort-Hare.
