Winnie Mandela died on Monday after a long illness, which had seen her go in and out of hospital since the beginning of the year [2018].<\/p>\n

Winnie Mandela and her former husband Nelson Mandela, who were both jailed, were a symbol of the country\u2019s anti-apartheid struggle for three decades.<\/p>\n

However, in later years, her reputation became tainted legally and politically.<\/p>\n

Winnie Mandela played a pivotal role in the anti apartheid struggle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

President Akufo-Addo in a tribute posted on his Facebook wall said Winnie Mandela will forever be remembered for her pivotal role in the anti-apartheid struggle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m deeply saddened by the news of the death of Winnie Mandela. Her name will echo down the ages, and will forever be remembered as a freedom fighter and a fearless and remarkable woman. Rest in perfect peace \u201cMama Wetu.\u201d You\u2019ve earned it.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Mother of the Nation’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela was born in 1936 in the Eastern Cape – then known as Transkei.<\/p>\n

She was a trained social worker when she met her future husband in the 1950s. They went on to have two daughters together.<\/p>\n

They were married for a total of 38 years, although for almost three decades of that time they were separated due to Mr. Mandela’s long imprisonment.<\/p>\n

To her supporters, she became known affectionately as “Mother of the Nation.”<\/p>\n
