- #TheOpinionPiece An excerpt from this week’s Opinion Piece states, “A deeply embedded patriarchal practice assumes that a married woman must change her surname to that of her spouse. This was standard practice at the department of home affairs. Officials would automatically change the surname of the newlywed wife to that of her husband, sometimes even in violation of the wife’s express intention to keep her maiden surname” - Written by Lilleonah Chivenge, a master of laws candidate at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. She joins us later as we unpack her piece
