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.
