family and grew up during the height of Apartheid in South Africa. She attended Stellenbosh University where she studied theology- the only woman in a class of fifty. She went on to get her Master’s degree in Philosophy, focusing on feminist theology. She married Wilhelm Verwoerd, the grandson of the former Apartheid Prime Minister HF Verwoerd, generally regarded as the architect of Apartheid. In 1990, after a brief spell at Oxford and following the unbanning of the ANC, she and her then- husband returned to South Africa. Shortly after their return Melanie met with Nelson Mandela, who encouraged her to “use her surname and voice for the bigger good”. She stunned many by joining the ANC. Her political involvement led to her being ostracised from her community and numerous death threats from far-right Afrikaner movements. During the first democratic elections in 1994, Melanie was elected as a Member of Parliament for the ANC under President Nelson Mandela. At the age of 27 she was the youngest female MP in the history of the South African parliament. During her time in Parliament she worked closely with Nelson Mandela and participated in the writing of South Africa’s constitution. She was re-elected in 1999, and in 2001 was appointed as South African Ambassador to Ireland. After her term of office ended in 2005, Melanie became the Executive Director of UNICEF Ireland, a position she held until 2011. Between 2005 and 2007 Melanie presented Spectrum, a weekly radio show on Rté (the national broadcaster in Ireland), and wrote regular columns on current affairs for the Daily Mail Ireland. Since her return to South Africa in 2013, she advises companies both domestically and internationally on political developments in South Africa and Africa. She does regular roadshows to asset management companies and other financial institutions and, for 8 years, wrote a weekly column for News24. In 2007 Melanie received the International Woman of the Year Award in Ireland. In 2018 she was ranked one of the top two political analysts in South Africa in the Financial Mail analysts’ ratings. In 2023, she released a book and podcast based on her radical hysterectomy experience entitled Never Waste a Good Hysterectomy. Most recently, she’s launched a brand new podcast with co-host Maritza Breitenbach called Grys & Gatvol, where the duo talk, laugh, and we cry about peri-and post-menopausal things women only wonder and whisper. Melanie also continues to consult for organisations including World Animal Protection (WAP), the Wilderness Foundation, and the International Conservation Caucus Foundation group (ICCF), holding Parliamentary briefings on animal conservation, advocacy, and banning the trade of wildlife. https://www.melanieverwoerd.co.za/melanieverwoerd-books daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25f5600b00f80001d5f5b7/f11682c3-0218-4b26-b9c7-043909bdfdeb/Never_Waste_A_Good_Hysterectomy_Melanie_Verweord.JPG Never Waste a Good Hysterectomy - "I devoured this book. Truly, the work of an artist and a creator." Dr Erika Mitchell, MD Following the discovery of a large ovarian tumour, Melanie was forced to undergo radical hysterectomy surgery. The physical recovery was painful, messy and took much longer than expected. However, even more surprising was the deeper, soul-searching questions that the procedure brought to the fore. In the process of both the physical and mental recoveries, Melanie had to come to terms with the rage, pain and grief of the hysterectomy specifically and many other losses in general, whilst investigating what she wanted to do with the second part of her life. The only way for her to make sense of what was happening was to write. This book is the brutally honest reflection of the year that followed the operation. While Melanie’s journey is brutally honest, it is also hope giving, and insists that women’s voices be heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25f5600b00f80001d5f5b7/fc99a8ab-6810-4821-9032-e128f54cd773/Melanie_Verwoerd_Author_Never_Waste_A_Good_Hysterectomy.jpg Never Waste a Good Hysterectomy -

For the first time, she also writes about her relationship with the late, much-missed broadcaster Gerry Ryan, including the difficult days and weeks leading up to his untimely death. She writes tenderly and passionately about her relationship with the man who has been the great love of her life. When We Dance is both the tale of a life well-lived and a moving love story. It will bring a tear to your eye - and joy to your heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25f5600b00f80001d5f5b7/1565964841681-64M8NZY9XYNP65TQGLZD/The+Verwoerd+that+toyi-toyied Author - The Verwoerd Who Toyi- Toyied Melanie shares the gripping story of her political awakening and international career. When she openly supported the ANC, the Verwoerds disowned her and her family, even once she serves in parliament under Mandela. Melanie becomes SA ambassador to Ireland and eventually heads UNICEF Ireland – until the love of her life, Irish celebrity broadcaster Gerry Ryan, dies unexpectedly. The controversy surrounding his death leads to her dismissal… This is the inspirational love story of a modern woman who made her own choices and lived by her own truth. It also goes to the heart of media, politics and power in the modern world. “Beautifully written …. extraordinary and brave” -- Roger Moore “A lyrical love story” -- Desmond Tutu “Will find readers among South Africans of all political persuasions ... a winning combination of intrigue, tragedy and humour” -- Jean Els (bestselling South African author) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25f5600b00f80001d5f5b7/1565965533302-FCWBAWO7D5JIRI1MDY2H/21+at+21+The+coming+of+age+of+a+nation Author - 21 at 21: The Coming of Age of a Nation Im 2015, it had been 21 years since the dawn of democracy in South Africa. To mark the "coming of age" of the nation, Melanie Verwoerd and Sonwabiso Ngcowa travelled across South Africa collecting the life stories of people born in 1994. These "born frees" relate their personal journeys, dreams and hopes for the future of the country. The brutally honest voices of these 21-year-olds, challenging and disturbing, as well as funny and hopeful, give an invaluable insight into modern day South Africa. “This book is filled with the beautifully told life stories of young adults born in 1994. Their courage, humour and determination give a remarkable insight into South Africa 21 years after democracy. It will leave no one untouched” - - Archbishop Desmond Tutu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25f5600b00f80001d5f5b7/1565965727339-513USH8G7RNGVG4AN7N6/Our+Madiba Author - Our Madiba: Stories and Reflections From Those Who Loved Him Meeting Mandela in 1990 changed Melanie Verwoerd’s life dramatically. After his death people from all walks of life, kept approaching her with stories of how meeting him had impacted on their lives.As her personal tribute to Madiba, Melanie started collecting these anecdotes and asked those who had stories of meetings with Mandela to send these to her. The result is a moving tribute to Madiba, with a rich mix of glimpses into Mandela’s soul. Uniquely this book gives ordinary South Africans an opportunity to share their stories of meeting their beloved Madiba, often in the most unexpected way. Mandela’s housekeeper, one of his bodyguards, the boy he met in a hotel lift, the girl whose birthday he shared and many others write about the lasting impression meeting Mandela left on them. The book includes special contributions by Archbishop Tutu, Angelique Kidjo, Francois Pienaar, John Carlin and Richard Attenborough. These sometimes astonishing, always inspirational stories reveal aspects of Mandela’s personality, from humility to humour. It might make readers laugh and sometimes cry, but will always inspire. https://www.melanieverwoerd.co.za/store daily 0.75 2023-08-24
