Late Winnie Mandela
Winnie Madikizela Mandela was the former wife of South Africa’s first black president, Nelson Mandela.
Zwane said Winnie’s family would issue a statement later in the day.
Born in Bizana in the Eastern Cape in 1936â she moved to Johannesburg to study social work after matriculating.
She met lawyer and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela in 1957 and they were married a year later. They had two children together.
