Eighty one after a long illness while the news was announced by her Personal Assistant when mandela was the exwife of the late president and Anti Apartheid IconNelson Mandela her legacy in south africa was mixed for decades she was long admired as a determined fighter against white minority rule in south africa but women to his reputation began to suffer and later years due to a number of controversy still she does remain one of south africas most of fining figures and tributes have been pouring in for her this is what one member of the current government had to say she was really it was. Solved in african names. Is the sea deep our evolutionary pain. Of this great i call of regimes drug. Serfontein is a South African journalist author and documentary filmmaker she has reported extensively
on her country thank you so much mr serfontein for being here with us who was Winnie Mandela well shes obviously in the former wife of Nelson Mandela but she was so sort of a very strong figure in a own right she was a Social Worker one of the street to go and study in the United States in the nineteen fifties and married to mandela. And then off to he went to prison and she became the voice. Of Nelson Mandela because he was in prison and with twenty seven years she kept his legacy alive and i strongly believe without him he would have not have been that i can he became my so its about that because shes been so tainted in the past couple of years but this is a very interesting point you think that Well Everyone was in prison the a. N. C. Was in exile his organization he was in prison his comrades when prison and she was still there and they slammed her with banning orders but she kept on breaking her
book banning old is she kept on speaking up she was beautiful she was well spoken and she was not scared of anyone she was really feeling and that got into trouble in later because no one could control her not to watch apartheid government the nato not to see that she was when he was one of the most fearless people have ever met fearless woman fearless activist you know her personally what kind of impression that should make on you know well she was incredibly charming on a one to one and you know like if you would speak to her you had the full attention and she was just the sort of very charismatic person more so than when theyre lively she just had. This charm and with charm people but then when she was angry she just always have vicious as one is seen in the townships and that when she confronted the Security Police right so where did it all go wrong i mean you refer
to it already shared this fierceness which couldnt couldnt be bound i think when they benish ten Nine Hundred Seventy Seven to bring forward to an area which she didnt speak the language where people would politicised and she was very very isolated and she did start to have a Drinking Problem and i think that broke in addition to have early as sort of spells in detention which she was sort of kept without trial for eighteen months and raped in that time and that must have broken her just when the people were not treated for posttraumatic stress syndrome in those days so she was a very lonely person when she was invented and she spent about nine years. She was also been active being a Social Worker she started like feeding. Feeding the people. Organizing them getting sort of activities for the trold wron getting foreign governments to fund have projects so she was also very eco active but she was very
lonely in that time and i think that broken in she went back to see a way to she was surrounded by the wrong people she was not a with the judge the best judge of peoples character a very complex history of a complex woman what will her legacy be i think her legacy would be that at the time when everyone was in prison or when exiled she kept the legacy of the antiapartheid struggle alive for many many years all to great extent be arent only answer from time South African journalist talking to us about the legacy of the now late Winnie Mandela thank you.

Its absolutely right to impose tariffs because ive seen the news about the us Crapping Trade deals with us its right to fight back. The new tariffs are chinas initial response to the u. S. Move to slap tariffs on steel and alimony im imports the u. S. Is also threatening to impose further tariffs on Sixty Billion Dollars worth of
other chinese imports a year over what it terms the theft of Intellectual Property china by contrast is raising tariffs on about Three Billion Dollars worth of u. S. Imports. Beijing says it will never submit if the u. S.
