Subject: South Africa's Winnie Mandela dies at 81

Written By: Philip Eno on 04/02/18 at 9:24 am

South African anti-apartheid campaigner Winnie Mandela has died aged 81, her personal assistant says. Winnie Madikizela Mandela was the former wife of South Africa's first black president, Nelson Mandela. The couple - famously pictured hand-in-hand as Mr Mandela walked free from prison after 27 years - were a symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle for nearly three decades. However, in later years her reputation became tainted legally and politically. Her family are expected to release a statement later today.

Aha... I'd wondered if she was any relation to Nelson. Turns out she was married to him.
