Personal life and education

Matthews was born in Klavier Laan (lit. "piano lane"), Steenberg to Anthony Alexander Matthews, a public servant, and Lorraine Ruby Gordene Mentoor. [15] Her childhood home was opposite the Rahmaniyah Masjied (Steenberg Mosque). Matthews’ ethnic background is matrilineally Batswana and Khoekhoen — descending directly from the ‘controversial’ [16] 18th century slave, [17] [18] [19] [20] Mento(o)r van Mozambique (1792) of Quelimane at Oudebosch. [21] [22] [23] According to the Matthews family's oral history, her father's family are of Bantu, St. Helenian, and early Afro-American extraction. [24]

She matriculated from Rosebank's Progress College in 1992, whereafter she obtained her Teaching Diploma from Hewat Teachers Training College (1996); [25] followed by an Advanced Certificate in Education (ACE) with a major in Science from the University of Cape Town (2003–2004); and completed her B.Ed. Honours degree in Education Management with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (2016). [26] She is the second wife (1992–2010) and widow of the South African author and anti-apartheid activist, Alf Wannenburgh. [27] [28] [29] The couple have one son. While enrolled at Hewat, she joined the Belhar Players in 1995. [30]

Awards

In 1999, she won a Fleur du Cap Theatre Award for 'Best Supporting Actress' as 'Sophie' in Heinrich Reisenhofer's Suip! (lit. "drink!") and received a First National Bank (FNB) Vita Award [29] [31] nomination for the same role in early 2000. [32] [33] [34] The play and cast also won an additional Fleur du Cap Award for 'Best New Indigenous Script' (1999) that same evening. [35]

Political career

Matthews participated in the 2021 South African municipal elections as a candidate [36] for Minister Patricia de Lille's Good party [37] and subsequently joined the Cape Town City Council as a proportional representative [38] (PR) municipal councillor (raadslid) on 9 November 2021. [3] [39] [40] [41] [42] She is, therefore, one of the 115 PR members that make up the City Council's total membership of 231 councillors. [1] Between 2005 and 2021, she served as a commissioner [43] for the Western Cape Cultural Commission (WCCC), [44] at the invitation of the then minister Pallo Jordan, [45] and as a board member and adjudicator/advisor on several departmental agencies at provincial and national levels under South Africa's Department of Sport, Arts and Culture. [33]

In May 2023, Matthews' name was published in a Provincial Gazette Extraordinary for the Western Cape as one of 17 shortlisted Good party candidates for the Provincial Parliament of the Western Cape seat that became vacant following Shaun August's controversial dismissal. [46] Matthews separated from the Good party in October 2023, and was subsequently given a Certificate of Recognition civic award by the City of Cape Town for her contribution to Sub-council 16 and the wards that comprise it during her two years in Council (9 November 2021 to 6 October 2023).[ citation needed ]

All other distinct colloquial variations of Afrikaans, including Kaaps, are organically connected to Standard Afrikaans as a widely spoken unitary variety and interact with it.
