” What mama Winnie’s life did to us was, we would compare our suffering to hers. We were younger and what went went through was nothing. And if she could have the courage to fight, we’d fight….we must remember her as the women, the mother, aunt, we should look at her with a big heart, the one who pushed boundaries to see freedom. We must correct the history of South African women,” said Modise.
