Such was the impact of poet Ingrid Jonker that decades after her death in 1965, the late Nelson Mandela read her poem, The Child who Was Shot Dead by Soldiers at Nyanga, at the opening of the first democratic Parliament on 24 May 1994.
“The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans and that we are citizens of the world,” he said 20 years ago.
“The certainties that come with age tell me that among these we shall find an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world. Her name is Ingrid Jonker. She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being.”
She had written the poem following a visit to the Philippi police station to see the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother’s arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. It happened in the aftermath of the massacre of 69 people in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, in March 1960. They were marching to the police station to protest against having to carry passbooks.

Answer:
Subject, Verb, Predicate Adjective, Direct Object
Explanation:
"She" is the subject because she has words describing her or what she is doing while "George" does not.
"Is" is a verb because it describes an aspect of the subject of the sentence.
"lovely" is a predicate adjective. Lovely is an adjective because it is a descriptive word and it is a predicate adjective because it describes the subject.
"George" is a direct object because he is being directly addressed in the sentence, but does not affect the main point of the sentence which is that "she is lovely". George is not the subject because he is not described or doing anything.
