Winnie Madikizela-Mandela: The Fearless Warrioress
“In her particular life, we may see more clearly the violence wrought by colonialism and apartheid, the profound consequences of fraternal political movements to whom women were primarily ornamental and, yes, the tragic mistakes made in the crucible of civil war. Her political power stemmed from the visceral connection that she was able to make between the everyday lives of black people in a racist state, and her own individual life.”
“… Fearless in the face of torture, imprisonment, banishment and betrayal, she stood firm in her conviction that apartheid could be brought down. She said what she liked, and bore the consequences. Her very life was a form of bearing witness to the brutality of the system.”
