- An interview with Nelson Mandela's ex-wife Winnie Mandela and their daughter Zindzi. Winnie, 76, was married to Nelson Mandela, 94, for nearly 40 years, and claims to know him better than anyone else. "Nobody knows him better than I do," she said. "It is extremely painful to see him going through what he is going through now."
During the interview, she was sitting next to their daughter Zindzi Mandela and both say they are offended at claims the former South African president's family have considered asking doctors to end his life.
"It is nonsense to suggest we needed to take a decision," said Winnie.
Zindzi added: "He is deciding what is happening with himself.
"It is between him and his maker, it has nothing to do with us whatsoever."
The mother and daughter also commented on a photocall that took place a few weeks ago, that saw Nelson Mandela appear alongside current South African president Jacob Zuma.
He looked particularly frail and unwell.
Winnie said: "I honestly cannot put in words how hurt the family was and it was one of the most insensitive things for anyone to have done." Report by Mark Morris.

@overgrow00 You are nothing..
@overgrow00 A ghost messages.
@overgrow00 No.
@overgrow00 This is what I suggest you do: Watch 'The Weakest Link' gameshow franchise,then recognise how it destroys Darwin's theory,which is your true religion.
@overgrow00 Simple request. What have you to fear?
She didn’t die she has multiplied 💪🏿🇿🇦
Winnie you fought the devil and won you are a. champion of the oppressed. masses rest in. peace we really miss you 🌹🌹
I Have much LOVE and respect for you. Fighting during a revolution for freedom lives are always lost. The oppressor has to be stopped by any means necessary along with those who want to side with the enemy. I applaud. Yur courage ma Winnie that is why yur name begins with WIN!
Our grandmother , Winnie
A true noble warrior ancestor for justice . R.I.P. Winnie, M
Tire necklas u probably forgot,...
Wow Winnie was beautiful

Nancy Noel the Real freedom fighter.
Kaissa Music 👊👊
She tortured and murdered many who opposed her, including innocent children.
@@biaggiwins When dealing with colonialists there are no innocents. NONE.
And those people should have protected their creed of their forefathers. A lot of their people die young but they know right and wrong. They have no illusions as mf do here
I have so much respect and sincere love for the Mandela, family. I often think sometimes where would we be.. the younger generation if it had not been for individuals in society such as yourself and your husband and your children, constantly fighting the struggle. We the younger generation would be lost. So I have nothing but humbleness, and sincere gratefulness for the compassion, patience, dedication, to the cause which gives me enlightment for society...
Mama Winnie was so gorgeous hands down
RIP Mama ubeliqawe,akkho namunye oyoke same name,God Bless u
Oh sweet sister Winnie. You were greatly loved.
Prince you are a champion ! Your determination with hard work will lead to success.
RIP freedom fighter!
I respect you Mom Winnie... I respect you Madida ...
i admire Winnie...God Bless her.
She was an awful human being
The great Winnie Mandela, an African queen
G P Who exactly did she murder? Who are these people?
Lol
She was all Mandela and he loved her
What a pretty woman!!’...,
Mandela divorced her because she was a real revolutionary and a radical freedom fighter. The west will not accept that this heroine be the wife of Mandela who has already sold out to the west in exchange for freedom. Mama Africa your legacy will live on for generations to come
She waited 27 years with him that’s incredible
"One of the insensitive things for anyone to have done" = Zuma
Mama WInnie did the right thing to divorce, because he was not the real Mandela
I love that woman who was a very strong leader because she took her own risky!
Winnie Mandela a strong woman ever
Winnie was a beautiful woman
Im sure actor played Msndela- president role
Wasn't this a clone they visited?
😂😂😂😂😂 you can say that again
I do respect this waman she is a real fighter
Leeu Vegter Why?
Do not let those who opposed his struggle pretend they didn't
Facts
Long live Queen Winnie !!
alvaro paz diaz rip winnie
Hail Nozamo Winnie Mandela our sister and our warrior too.
Mrs. Winnie Mandela 😁
Why people write so much hate in comments on people's race and ethnic background! We are all of the human race! Like Mandela says if we are taught to hate, then surely we can teach to love, agape love! 2 Chronicles 7:14
Blessed ate the Mandela's for getting a lion's share of the struggle credentials but they were not the only ones there are a lot of other heroes who struggled with them snd got nothing for their efforts.The Mbuyisa Makhubus,theTsietsi Mashininis,The Magubane boys of PM Burg who were killed by S.A.Army in Mozambique to mention a few oMike Mcetshwa their wives and children are miserable nobody cares! Madiba was a good man but do not glorify him alone and and his family
why did they divorce? She still seems so concerned even here!
TheCockyHousewife Here she was a child murderer and had a gang to protect her who had abused and killed other black people with her support and nelson mandela didn't agree with her methods and wanted to be more peaceful. plus she cheated on him while he was in prison.
For political reasons, sadly. The only way Mandela could become what he thought the county needed, he had to distance himself as she was more radical we're ad Mandela wanted to try to reason with the devil.
Mandela betrayed them. And talking about how to redistribute wealth on nativr is seen as discrimination on white by other white non south african. This is too hilarious. Even china was like south africa but thanks they got the ccp and got rid of gangs and dr*ugs the system designed them into.
He will always be the Father of the nation.
Lol the world see it rapes,murder,corruption, education,medication everything f.cked good job u father of destroying nation,...;)
Amandla

@@Stacy572 lol then europe and usa should know that u guys need only tires and Petrol,....:-D
True
we don't care how many people she has killed,it's not something new cz even whites have killed countless number of blacks so yes she was fighting for freedom and we gonna continue to praise her for her braveness✊✊✊#mamaafrica
We whites don't care how many either,the more the better.
She was lyn she cheated him whilst he was in jail
He was in jail for 27 years. Wtf is she. Superwoman?
Hell waits for you Winnie.
Felipe J Fry: Oh, the surprises you will find in heaven if you chance to make it there. That is not the spirit of a humbled person. It is the haughtiness of bigotry. Don't you fear God? Oh you would. Just let a disaster such as an earthquake pass on boisterously for a minute without doing any harm to you or others, and you would cease to be such a bigot. God's gonna humble you one of these days. And you will change your language on the oppressed people of the world, such as Winnie Mandela.
The same for you too
mama afrika...MADIKIZELA NELSON MANDELA... I LOVE YOU MUMMY, MOTHER OF THE NATION, my Inspiration.
there's One ,called Father of the nations, the King of Kings, the Hero of heroes, ironic how Father God who gave Jesus to buy us out gets pushed out of the picture, out of the parliament, out of the schools, out of so many things, repent south africa (and nations) ,for the wages of your unforgiven sins rest heavily upon you, while your hands drip with blood, God's ways are higher than the ways of man, high above the ways of culture and tradition, turn to the King that cleanses dark repentant hearts, while we still can...
AMEN!!
Good SA is not yours its ours We were here long before you
haha
Burger King says you can have it your way
Preach to the 12-gauge. Your time is soon at hand.
winnie mandela great mum my God grent you more years
necklacing
And???? Bitch please
Alycius lets talk about slavery. Leave Winnie alone
What about the evil settlers who killed people for the colour of their skin?
It's depressing that a terrorist has achieved sainthood, and that his "wife" is treated the same way. Is South Africa really any better for poor blacks?
shut will you for God's sake
*****
Racist troll.
Get lost!! And what about the crimes committed by the white government that went unpunished? Get lost!!!
Who terrorize and murder and oppress like white supremacists, plunder, pilferage and master genocidal. Yet your mouth so big to hate on God's chosen. Excuse your self. Bye.
What’s depressing is that there are ignorant and narrow-minded people like you…
Like Queen Esther/Hadashah of the scriptures.
The Boere knows both who mandela were and who you are winnie, and it is not a nice picture.
@Maat Heru
The Hitler and Apartheid story is fake so your premise is false.
Yesss it’s not a nice picture. Because they challenged their white privellage
Who cares what a Boer thinks, shame, just go cry next to your god Terror blanches grave
They were not hoping for a nice picture.
Winnie the pig

She is no Mandela . . .
What you saying??
Are you high?
Did you want to get married to Nelson? Well, he was not gay.
The spin on Mandela was that he was sentenced to 27 years for his resistance to state tyranny.
Umkhonto we Sizwe, terrorist wing of the African National Congress and the South African Communist Party. Head of this terrorist wing. Plead guilty to 156 acts of terrorism including planting of bombs in public places. He was head of this terrorist wing for 2 eyars befroe he was arrested in 1962. This terrorist organization then went on to plant bombs in various places, including in churches and was responsible for many deaths to men, women, and children. These were people murdered by the organization that Mandela was the head of.
Mandela never renounced the violence or condemned it. Any government in the world would have locked him up. He was put in jail for ordering these bombings. He was found with 50,000 landmines which had been sent to him by the communist government in Russia.
President Botha visited Mandela and offered to release him if he would renounce the violence and bombings. Mandela refused.
When he became President of South Africa. He purchased massive amounts of weaponry. He also became cozy with other violent dictators around the world, including Qaddafi in Libya and Castro in Cuba. We know that communism in the 20th century was responsible for far more deaths than even the Nazis. Just one example, we know there 70 million people slaughtered in Russia alone. A pattern which we saw over and over again regarding communism. Just execute anyone who can read, or is outspoken, and happens to disagree with the communists. Mao Tse Tung in China. Castro, Stalin, Phnom Penn in Cambodia... Mandela.
Today, the majority of South Africans, including blacks say they were better off under the apartheid government. Police and government corruption is rampant. Transparency International released it's 2013 report on government corruption and rated the current South African government as the highest, most corrupt in the world. South Africa now averages 59 murders daily. This amounts to about 1 murder per 2,413 every year! This easily makes it the most violent country in the world. Rape and gang-rape in South Africa are also the highest in the world. Part of the reason for this is the ridiculous myth propagandized by "witch doctor" types who tell people that having sex with a virgin is a cure for Aids. Predictably, this has led to an increase in Aids. Today, 12% of South African citizens are H.I.V. positive. The ANC government has done nothing to stop the pandemic. Moreover, poverty amongst both withes and blacks has increased dramatically since the ANC took over in 1994. Fortunately, the Apartheid government had enough sense to destroy it's nuclear arsenal before leaving office.
The current post-Apartheid government and 80% majority black population is also arguably the most xenophobic in the world. In a 2006, a survey by the South African Migration Project found that South Africans are more opposed to immigration than anywhere else in the world. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2008 reported over 200,000 refugees applied for asylum in South Africa, almost four times as many as the year before. These people were mainly from Zimbabwe, though many also come from Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. Competition over jobs, business opportunities, public services and housing has led to tension between refugees and host communities.
Mandela's second wife, Winnie, was about the most evil person one could imagine. She was convicted of the torture and murder of a 14 year old boy whom she accused of being an informant. She was also a big fan of what is called "necklacing." A practice in which a person is wrapped in barbed-wire, place a tire over the shoulders so they can't move, the pour gasoline into the rim of the tire and set fire to it. This was who Nelson chose to marry. We can only guess that her sick violence was only part of the atrtaction. Nelson knew these things about her when he married her.
+Bobby Vaught It is very convenient to talk about ANC atrocities in absence of the fact that this organisation was RESPONDING to atrocities first done to the indigenous blacks. If whites hadn't oppressed people in their own country in the first place, which is what whites have historically done for centuries around the world in various countries, the country wouldn't currently be in the state it's in. In America, many free slaves wished for slavery again because they found life so difficult. That doesn't mean slavery was BETTER. It just means that being a slave significantly limited their ability to adapt to free living. The problem in South Africa is that hundreds of years of oppression, deprivation and racial destruction has nigh on destroyed the indigenous people's ability to adapt to liberation and run their own country effectively. That doesn't mean that apartheid was better for them; what it actually indicates is how long-term the damage of apartheid and oppression is. Though I respect him very much, Nelson Mandela was ONE man. Despite his influence it would be impossible for him alone to rectify the damage to South Africa as a result of 46 years of apartheid in addition to hundreds of years of colonisation prior to that. Change requires re-education, retribution, economic redistribution and infrastructure, business development and most of all, TIME. A LOT OF TIME. The damage is deep-set and will take generations to undo. What you see now is the fruit of centuries of violence and corruption, which happened under WHITE rule. Know your history and stop sanitizing the impact of white influence in Africa. Their presence in South Africa is the root cause of the problems we see now.
+Bobby Vaught Thousand of black people were murdered by the Apartheid System.
An evil action always produces an explosive reaction, he or she who suffered that knows well what a real terrorist Government of European descent can do to humble people. ..! AMANDLA !!
Salute 🙏
