Farewell Winnie Mandela

Struggle icon Winfred Nomzamo Madikizela Mandela who is the former wife of the late State-man Nelson Mandela will be laid to rest on the 14 April this coming Saturday in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her untimely death comes after she succumbed to a recurring illness. Affectionately known as Mother of the nation, Mama Winnie Mandela played a pivotal role in the fight against the apartheid regime. She was imprisoned and sent to solitary confinement in an attempt by the then regime to break her spirit.
