TRIBUTE TO WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA

Mama Winnie died at 81 years old. She was former wife of Nelson Mandela , first president of free and post Apartheid South Africa. She kept presence and fighting spirit of Nelson Mandela alive inside the country whilst he was in prison for about 30 years. Winnie was a great symbol of resistance to Racist Apartheid Regime. And advocate for freedom and justice. Under Apartheid she was imprisoned , humiliated and kept in solitary confinement times without number. Her will never was broken. She united the Africans for liberation struggle against Minority European , racist and separatist regime of Apartheid. Her uncompromising spirit and agitation for total liberation of Africans under Apartheid and demise of the evil system made Winnie more radical and faithful to original ANC Agenda for free South Africa than many anti Apartheid fighters , including Nelson Mandela. Great and powerful tree has fallen. Her roots still remain firm inside fertile soil. Mama Winnie , Mother of the Nation is an inspiration and bold example to many progressives in and outside her country. Her detractors waged futile war against her person. All in an attempt to make it easy of for masters of Apartheid to continue to enjoy their loot in free South Africa under African National Congress , ANC. Mandela as president of post Apartheid South Africa failed to make significant changes in favour of real development , economic and social emancipation of real owners of the land. Winnie never like his inability to do so much as expected from him by his people. Winnie Madikizela Mandela will ever be remembered as a freedom fighter. One of exceptional dedication and boldness. Whose fearlessness , strength and will power conquered brutality , wickedness and separate development concept of racist South Africa. She lives always in the heart of many.

  1. Winnie shall be laid in state on April 14 at Orlando Stadium in Soweto. For funneral rites and burial later in the day. Today at the same venue in Soweto , South Africa remembers the Liberation Fighter , Resistance Icon and Symbol of Emancipation from Apartheid.
