In a bitter and angry statement, Winnie Mandela resigned from the South African government Monday, pre-empting her second dismissal from her ministerial post which was due to come into effect tomorrow (Tuesday).
She continued to taunt her estranged husband President Nelson Mandela by suggesting that her dismissal as a Deputy Minister may be illegal.
President Mandela first fired his wife as Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology on March 27, following her involvement in a string of embarrassing incidents and allegations of corruption.
Winnie Mandela went to court to challenge the dismissal which she
said was unconstitutional. The president reinstated her just long enough to dismiss her a second time - this time following the correct constitutional procedures.
The second dismissal would come into effect tomorrow Tuesday.
Winnie Mandela has seized upon yet another technical loophole and today resigned before being forced from office.
Winnie Mandela was angry over the manner in which the President and those in his office had handled her dismissal.
SOUNDBITE:
The President's letter, although dated Good Friday, 14 April 1995 was delivered to me in an unsealed envelope at 11.30 pm (Cutaway of letter) on Thursday, 13 April 1995 and purports to terminate my appointment as Deputy Minister only as from Tuesday 18 April 1995. Aside from this repeated clumsy, unprofessional and inept behaviour of the President's office, one thing is clear and that is that I am still Deputy Minister up until 18 April 1995.
SUPER CAPTION: Winnie Mandela
Winnie Mandela again challenged the president to provide the reasons
for her dismissal and reserved the right to start legal proceedings against him if she was unsatisfied.
She remains convinced that her second termination would again be legally invalid and unconstitutional. She called on the President to provide reasons for her dismissal.
SOUNDBITE:
The President owes it to me as a citizen of this country in my capacity as Deputy Minister.
SUPER CAPTION: Winnie Mandela
Winnie Mandela said that she would continue to serve the African
National Congress as a committed member and as president of the ANC Women's League.
SOUNDBITE:
In the circumstances, whilst still Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology, I publicly resign from that office to pay attention to the more pressing issues I have set out here above.
SUPER CAPTION: Winnie Mandela

SOUTH AFRICANS MUST UNITE AND SAVE SOUTH AFRICA NOW. Thank you
They all stood on her shoulders and left her in the gutter!!
something saddening about this,
I am sorry mama,thre struggle continue..thanks u neva sold ur soul
"Mama give us a signal, we are waiting"......I love how Malema put it during her burial....
Let this be your sign , distribute land in state ownership, just laying in Ruined to the masses, offer a training program led by competent people, inforce lifestyle audits of government employees etc.
Cant own 26mil mansion + 29 cars + Gucci on a salary of 50 000. Reclaim TRILLIONS stolen from the poor, by these means, and immediately invest in education & housing.
The struggle was over in 94
But the moment the world looked away, the ANC started feeding out of State treasures like pigs
She killed Stompie
She always spoke her mind..lol.
& always murdered her own lol.
@@crunchkarma4907 & you are dumb & petty . Lol
Mandela fought and sell his soul and the end ,Winni stood firm with the people...Mama weSizwe ,Delakufa la ngempela
Zinja ndini zihlukumeza umama!!! Rest in Power mama wethu! You fought a good fought!!!
Yebo! And shes romantic too! Buying anyone who just looked at her funny a beautiful necklace, in the form of a flaming tyre, underaged? Crippled? No problem, Mama Winnie Da Poo could make you and your crutches disappear.
Sadly, that dead racoon on her head never disappeared. I hope she remembered the sunscreen, shes gonna need it.
Shame she thought the struggle of apartheid was over not knowing that more struggles were waiting for her.... they wouldn't want her to be in the new era gvt because it would be difficult for them to survive in the new era knowing her calibre shame shame muntu omnyama
Legends never die . . .
This was sad
About time
She was very very very beautiful
Lol "uMam Winnie bounced out of Tata's cabinet, like "who 's gonna check me boo?"
Lol ya Agreed
Mama Winnie Poo always cared, ensuring quite a few children and men get a nice crispy flaming tyre around the neck to keep them nice and warm, just slightly less alive.
Thanks Mama Winnie. Thats what we love about you, not afrid to take action. She just popped into government for a few months after the struggle to take little pay check for her services, by that I meant anything she could get her hands on, which was everything, prolly wiped out her department & just had Tata refill it.
@@crunchkarma4907 Girl have several seats . You in every comment sprewing hatred . You’re just angry she challenged the Aphartheid government & it’s policies because they benefited you 🤣🤣🤣
This is strange phenomenon, but i done many divorces and cheating women are always the most bitter in breakups.
Does she look bitter to u? ....u won’t survive an atom of what she went thru
Backward thinker watch who you talker about here . This is the mother of our nation
How much more preposterous can a woman look?
Your stupidity amazes me
And you look like what? Don't impose how you see yourself in the mirror to others, if you ugly then you alone is ugly!!!
Really by who's standard cave man? Winnie has displayed more strength in her pinkie toe than you have in your entire life.
Someone is jealous. She was the definition of beauty
