Winnie Mandela:

The banishment of Nomzamo Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to Brandfort’s, Majwemasweu township from 1977 to 1984 by the regime, sought to use this divide to silence one of the government’s most potent threats, but instead ignited the resistance movement in the dusty town. Before her arrival, the township’s Sesotho, Setswana and Afrikaans-speaking communities would seldom confront the racist system, residents told the Mail & Guardian this week, and when the Security Branch exiled the revered freedom fighter, it had no idea she would recruit dozens of activists to her cause. The film follows Norah, a woman who became a close comrade and friend of Winnie during her seven years in Brandfort, Free State.
