Lieutenant Commander Zimasa Mabela made history today,
August 26 when she took command of a navy vessel. She’s the first African woman
to assume this position. Mabela will be at the helm of SAS Umhloti (South
African Navy ship) after taking over from the officer in charge, Commander
Brian Shor.
"She will be taking
over from Commander Brian Shor, who is currently the officer in commanding, SAS
Umhloti. We are looking up at more women taking over commanding vessels.” said
Lieutenant Obed Medupe.
