Madikizela-Mandela 81 year old was admitted to the Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg over a brief illness. Madikizela-Mandela was seen with ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa on political matters sometime last month.
Madikizela-Mandela was the wife to former south African head of state who is late now Nelson mandela mandeba.
Madikizela-Mandela has championed the affairs of women in South-Africa, both as a corrosive politician and as an advocate on their behalf.
The Family has released a public statement describing the demise as a great loss to both the family and the nation as a whole. The statement further reads that she passed on peacefully in the early hours of Monday afternoon 02 april 2018 surrounded by her family and loved ones.
Mrs Madikizela-Mandela was one of the greatest icons of the struggle against Apartheid. She fought valiantly against the Apartheid state and sacrificed her life for the freedom of the country. She kept the memory of her imprisoned husband Nelson Mandela alive during his years on Robben Island and helped give the Struggle for justice in South Africa one its most recognisable faces. She dedicated most of her adult life to the cause of the people and for this she was known far and wide as the Mother Of The Nation.
The Mandela family are deeply grateful for the gift of her life and even as our hearts break at her passing, we urge all those who loved her to celebrate this most remarkable woman.
The family will release details of the memorial and funeral services once these have been finalised.
A Look at Winnie Mandela life
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela a struggle icon who has risen as many times as she has fallen.
She was the first black medical social worker at Baragwanath Hospital and is currently a member of the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC), after
being absent from politics for years, following her convictions on murdered Stompie Moeketsi (1988) and fraud in 2003.
She and Mandela divorced after he became the president in 1994, having separated two years prior to Mandela’s presidency.
Madikizela-Mandela was never the first lady of South Africa although she was still married to Mandela at the time he became president in May 1994.Their divorce was finalised on 19 March 1996.
Lately her health was deteriorating and she was in and out of hospital. Prior to going to the clinic, she was uncomfortable and complaining of loss of appetite and that one of her legs was painful.
Upon admission, it was discovered that she had an infection that had affected her kidneys. She underwent a number of operations and recently she was home and had honoured a number of visits.
