Book: Winnie Mandela, a life Anné Mariè du Preez Bezdrob

What an incredible woman. What an incredibly sad story.

What she had to endure in the insane history of our country's journey to freedom is mind boggling. How any of it was allowed to take place in the first place is very difficult to understand.

Page 247: 'From the moment of her birth, the reality of Winnie's life acted as a foil to expectation. She was the daughter who should have been a son; the highly visible activist who should have been a demure and dutiful spouse; the tragic heroine who should have been an ingénure; the ex-wife who should have been First Wife.'


This beautiful, strong woman, her story so incredibly tragic.
