Winnie Mandela
Considered by many as the “Mother of the Nation” of South Africa, Winnie Mandela has lived an extraordinary life. The second wife of Nelson Mandela, she played an integral role in the Antiapartheid Movement. Committing her time and effort to the needs of her community, she became South Africa’s first black professional social welfare worker. Along with her triumphant welfare endeavors, she endured many cruelties, such as unjust imprisonment, banishment and rampant harassment. But through all of these harsh realities, she was able to push forward and bring liberty to hundreds of thousands of South Africans.
