SADC led by a woman Executive Secretary Dr Stergomena Tax says Winnie Madikizela-Mandela will forever be remembered by all for enduring years of suffering and for standing up against repressive apartheid forces, even in dangerous times.
It says the SADC Region is proud and fortunate to have shared the illustrious life of such a great African leader, South Africa’s Mother of the Nation.
