So ko kasi we adorn our female counterparts with several appellations. "Cheri", "Thikin'", "Ntsaiza", etc... another popular term "Medi", apparently originated in praise-reference to Maddie Hall Xuma, an American-born Activist, Educationist and Social Worker who became the first ANC Womens League president. She was also wife of Dr A.B Xuma, ANC president-general, 1940 - 1949. They lived in Sophiatown.
