It is with deep sorrow that MMS Woman Of Fortune Hall Of Fame (WoFHoF) Initiative mourns the demise of Winnie Madikizela – Mandela, a leading figure at the forefront of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa.
MMS WoFHoF Initiative, expresses its deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the government and the people of South Africa as well as the Mandela family.
As an initiative that fights for the empowerment and rights of women, we are saddened by the death of this anti – apartheid leader revered by many Africans and South Africans in particular who see her as “Mother of the Nation”.
This tireless freedom fighter and Amazon will be remembered for her leadership in the struggle to free her country from the dragon hold of apartheid. She campaigned relentlessly for her husband, Nelson Mandela’s release during his 27-year imprisonment.
Winnie’s legacy reminds us that women are the backbone for any movement for freedom and justice, and we must therefore honour and recognize their contributions families and national development. This is an area of expertise for MMS WofHof Initiative as we empower women for leadership and greater political participation.
