mama Winnie, couldn't you just use Madikizela as your surname and stop clinging into the Mandela surname as well since you are a divorcee yourself.

Mandela is your ex-husband's surname, isn't it. who's using who now??
you don't have a problem when the ANC acts as if the whole country is owned by one family, you've got away with a lot through the very same surname.

Is that a recent picture of the old lioness - she looks fine for her age. She is getting prickly however. She has herself to blame. She tolerates the divisive behaviour of the youth league mutton heads - if you take sides then you must expect to get side lined. And if she is being sidelined it is not the same as the Mandela family being sidelined. She gave a lot to us but she should speak out about the rot in the ANC - corruption, cadre deployment and neopotism.

I THINK I get where she is coming from. She has every right to be using that surname and commenting on issues that affect the Mandela,reason being she witnessed the events first hand and for the mere fact that she has kids no Tata automatically gives her the right to voice out issues affecting the Mandelas. And in anycase someone must speak for Mandela,that name must not be used only when there is an agenda!

Comrade Winnie must understand that he is not Madiba her self! I think they divorced some couple of years ago now she want to drag Tata into her ill discipline criterion for the sake of attention and loud mouthing Comrades whom she does not like for being sidelined for her self enrichment desires. Well we know Comrade that you feel bitter that Comrade Zuma is sidelining you for all intend and purposes. Well we are not fools, Comrade your biggest idiotic embarrassing mistake was to think that you are bigger than the ANC whilst you forget that actually the ANC is much bigger and stronger than you!! As a reference, in your famous fraud and corruption trial you told the people that ''I am the ANC'' what a pathetic ridiculous statement a sane head cadre can say, well look where you are at the moment, as the ANC we will never tolerate an arrogant self boosting mistress like you madam!! And that is how respectful ANC cadres discipline a veteran Comrade like you, yes by sidelining their shameful foreign ''bigger than the ANC'' ATTITUDE that you currently display! That is your fatal individual stupidity you displayed since you became the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy and even now you have not yet grown up upstairs!!

@ MicaParis jealousy only is not enough to make us get to a height we aspire to be. Even if what the Mother of the Nation achieved in life was attracting the most celebrated icon, the most famous man in the world, gave him kids which your mother and all your female generation put together could not do, she is a great and MUST BE CELEBRATED EVEN AFTER DEATH. For your information, if you side line people like you claim your moron leader is doing, you do not call the person for assistance when you are desperate. It confirms your moronic president is sidelining the wrong people…..sorry the mother of the nation has spoken.

She was responsibile for the torture and death of several youths, and a swath of other things. As for being the "mother of the nation"... Ja right.

Zuma was going into hostile territory (Limpopo) and needed Winnie as a walking stick. Why hasnt she been invited to all his other lectures??? Thankfully, Winnie is not stupid.

I know Amangutyana is not happy but unfortunately this organisation is for us all. I am sure a lot has been done for ex-Mrs Mandela but its never enough.

the last time I looked fornication is culturally acceptable ask your president (zuma).
Winnie ordered Stompie's murder that was a vile act on her part, but her politically motivated crime were forgiven in teh TRC along with other politically motivated murders such as the ones carried out in anc exile with orders from zuma, ask him when you see him, he made some of his comrade from KZN disappear to this day their corposes have never been discovered, you want to talk to me about political motivated murders? where should we start, that anc comrades burnt down houses in the township of their opponents murdering occupants in the process, do you really want to talk to me about political motivated murders? what about inkatha former political party of blade how many did they murder in GP, please ask blade next time you see him.

I don't defend Winnie on anything more than I am saying as the main person in the Mandela clan, and anc vet she has every right to defend misuse of Mandela name for political expedience, the only problem I have with this she took too long to defend Mandela name, cause in 2007 jacob zuma anc paraded Madiba from his death bed like a piece of meat against for political expedience, why didn't Winnie complain then? but now that she is complaining, even when she has an agenda I guess its okay.

Mama Winnie should learn to behave herself, she is the EX-wife and that's it. The ANC officials have the South African map and they know where Qunu is, Winnie has issues that certainly are out of bounds for the ANC. Mandela does not need a doorkeeper, especially of Winnie's calibre. The ANC NEC (of which Mama Winnie is a member) has adopted the ANC centenary celebrations programme last year and Winnie did not object at that time. Not even a single family of past ANC presidents have complained (publicly if they have) about their family name being "used for certain agendas". Mama Winnie suffered enough during apartheid, but ever since the ANC came to power, she has continued to behave like a loose canon, not taking the collective into account. She has constatntly criticized the ANC for "failing" the people, the question is what has she done since 1994? Winnie is a lone ranger in politics and the ANC has kept quiet long enough out of respect for Madiba's name. She has been a constant source of embarassment to a point where Madiba had to seek redemption in divorce. Winnie has always been a member of the NEC, MP, leader of the ANCWL and also Deputy Minister, wielding enough power to make a difference in the lives of ordinary lives, but she chose to become an internal opposition within the ANC. Winnie's contribution to the ANC post 1994 is giving the ANC "her polished product", Julius Sello Malema.

@SharpSharp

You will understand the word "collective" when you outgrow the mentality of some ill-disciplined group in the ANCYL. Winnie was elected by conference, not appointed to become the opposition from within. Once decisions are taken by the collective, all, including those who argued against, must tow the line, and that does not amount to "dictatorship". The "Dictator" you are talking about was also elected at Polokwane and he must follow the directives of the NEC. The ANC does not need Winnie's permission to talk to Tata, the ANC cannot be seen to be undermining his current wife or pretending that Winnie is still the wife. The ANC has done what was expected by talking to Mandela's family and also Winnie, but obviously she wanted to be elevated to a platform above those who live and look after Mandela daily. I understand you young ones are very excited about Managaung and you see everything through "Mangaung coloured glasses". The ANC must exist beyond Mangaung. But the manner in which you are carrying on, even if you triumph, you will certainly inherit a more weaker ANC that will fail to gain enough majority in 2014, that will put to an end any dream of radically changing the economic landscape. The policy proposals agreed upon in the recent Policy Conferenece will only be realised if the ANC is more united and stronger than it is now. Stop thinking of Mangaung as the destination, but as a filling station to re-fill and refresh for the journey ahead. Zuma or no Zuma, Juju or no Juju, the ANC is bigger than all of us.

@Lers "Anyone who says Wennie should not use the Mandela name doesn't understand what this woman has been through"
@Mashesha99 "Last I checked Nelson Mandela divorced this granny way back in the 90's, now tell me who's using the Mandela name for their own agenda??"

Agree with both of you...but granny is the last person indeed to ride on this old man's legacy. She only celebrated and respected his legacy at his absence. When the man came back to her, with so much love to give, she flushed him like **** for a better young man who we all know is now stinking rich because of his connection to the mother of the nation! What the difference between "use and Winnie"? We can start we the Penis....

There is NOTHING to celebrate about Mandela. The man betrayed ALL black people. He sold out black people for a "Noble Peace Prize"

I have a problem with people giving “Messianic status to Madiba” like a black Jesus when we all know that Mandela failed the black nation.

Read the article on how Mandela sold out:
