	Winnie Madikizela-Mandela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Winnie Madikizela-Mandela (born September 26, 1934 or 1936 as Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela) is the ex-wife of former South African president (May 1994–June 1999) and African National Congress (ANC) leader Nelson Mandela.
		Further tarnishing her reputation were accusations by her bodyguard, Jerry Richardson, that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela ordered him to abduct and kill 14-year-old ANC activist and child James Seipei – otherwise known as "Stompie Moeketsi" – in January 1989.
		The Mandelas' 38-year marriage ended in separation (April 1992) and divorce (March 1996).

	entertainment.iafrica.com books non-fiction Winnie Mandela: A Life
		Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is a woman revered and reviled in seemingly equal measure, a fascinating shadow to her former husband’s sainthood.
		Winnie spent thirteen months in solitary confinement, in addition to her torture, and Bezdrob suggests that it was this experience, and the post-traumatic stress disorder which resulted, that may explain Winnie's noted change in character.
		Winnie's misdeeds nevertheless must have come as a surprise to those who knew the 'old' Winnie — the Winnie who was a passionate social worker, who held her family and her community above herself, the Winnie who actively worked for change.

		PRETORIA, South Africa (AFP) -- Winnie Madikizela-Mandela might have been found guilty on dozens of fraud and theft charges, but her loyal supporters have vowed to stand by her until the end.

		Her bond with Mandela had endured through letters and visits to prison and when he was released in 1990, Winnie was there holding his hand, but in private she became involved in liaisons with other men, according to Anthony Sampson's biography of her husband, Mandela.

	H-Net Review: Patricia van der Spuy on Winnie Mandela: A Life
		Part 1 is entitled "Winnie Madikizela," part 2 "Winnie Mandela," and part 3, "Winnie Madikizela-Mandela." As the cover photograph and indeed the book's title suggest, Winnie Mandela is the main focus of this biography, and the section dealing with the period of her marriage takes up thirteen of nineteen chapters.
		This book attempts to explain a perceived shift in the persona of Winnie Mandela from the Mother of the Nation of earlier biographies, and of the liberation struggle--a persona reproduced here without analysis or irony--to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, a woman accused of murder, convicted of kidnapping, and at the time of publication, indicted for fraud.
		In addition to the option of interviewing people who participated in Madikizela-Mandela's life, there are numerous records of audio-visual interviews with Winnie Mandela that could have been sourced; other archival sources such as court transcripts--not to mention media reports--would have been fruitful.

		After her split from Mr Mandela, Madikizela-Mandela, the name she chose to use after the divorce, continued to be politically active, despite her unpopularity among the leaders of the ANC.
		In 1991, she was convicted of kidnapping and being an accessory to assault after the death of 14-year-old township activist Stompie Seipei, who was found near Madikizela-Mandela's Soweto home with his throat cut.
