Sister Mary Bernard Ncube (née Neikie Zellie Ncube; 9 March 1935 – August 31, 2012) was a South African religious sister and anti-apartheid activist. As a religious sister, she often faced criticism from the church over her politics, including her stance on abortion.[1] Because of her anti-apartheid activities, she was often arrested and is probably the first sister to be arrested in South Africa.[2]
