Extraordinary Resilience

 

Today we reflect on the speech by HRH Zenani Dlamini at her mother’s funeral and how she described her mother, Winnie Mandela, as an “extraordinary resilience” fighter. Read this: 

 

At my mother’s 80th birthday in September 2016, I said: ‘One day, the story of how you fought back so valiantly against that terrible and powerful regime will be told. Without the distortions.’ It is not two years since I uttered those words, and already they’re coming true. Those who notice such things would have realized that her 2013 book, 491 Days—which tells the story of the brutality she experienced at the hands of the Apartheid state, the depths of her despair and her extraordinary resilience and defiance under extreme pressure—was already an invitation for a deep re-evaluation of her life. Because anyone who reads that book grasps just how much my mother dedicated her life to the struggle for a free South Africa. 

 

Therefore, Wowos, we urge you to be extraordinarily resilient! Long live the spirit of Mama Winnie, long live!
