The casket carrying the remains of struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela
WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA’S daughter Zenani Mandela-Dlamini slammed hypocrisy and sexism in the African National Congress at her mother’s funeral in Soweto at the weekend.
She attacked those who had vilified her mother in life but eulogised her in death, declaring: “Praising her now shows us what hypocrites you are. The pain inflicted on her, lives on in us.”
Ms Mandela-Dlamini questioned why men in the liberation struggle hadn’t been subjected to the same scrutiny as her mother, insisting that "double standards obscure the immense efforts of women" to liberate the country.
