Saray Khumalo becomes first black woman to scale Mount Everest

Award-winning South African mountaineer Saray Khumalo has made history, becoming the first black woman to reach the top of Mount Everest.

Less than 5,000 people have managed to summit Everest, and four people have died trying to do so this season.

Khumalo managed to reach Everest’s summit, 8,848 metres above sea level.

She had attempted to summit the mountain on three previous occasions. In 2015, she was prevented from reaching her goal when Nepal was hit by an earthquake.

In 2017, she was forced to return after reaching just 100 vertical meters short of her goal.

Khumalo is the founder of 7 Summits with a purpose, an initiative that raises money for underprivileged schools through her climbing.

“My dream is to go higher and go further for as long as I breathe. To pave a way for my children and other ordinary people, so we may realise and accept that ordinary people like us can achieve extraordinary heights,” she says on the initiative’s website.

“To not think too much about the difficulties on the way but keep focused on the end goal and to take their hand, motivate them to realise that they too may dream the impossible dream.”

Less than 5,000 people have managed to summit Everest since Edmund Hilary made history by becoming the first person to do so in 1953.

Four people have died trying to reach the top of Everest this season.
