 FrontPage magazine.com :: Winnie Mandela: South Africa’s Mother of Thieves by Michael Radu
As encouraging as it is that Winnie was convicted, it is equally troubling that she remains popular even though she has now been convicted twice of serious crimes.
Even more troubling, Winnie has been elected to parliament twice (in 1994 and 1999) and to the leading forums of the ANC largely on the basis of her popularity with the youth wing of the ANC.
These are Winnie’s constituency: the unemployed and unemployable—unless they are hired by the National Defense Force or police under their affirmative action policies, and thus free to pursue a criminal career legally armed and in uniform.

The hearings have centered on an erstwhile group of youths called the "Mandela United Football Club," which in fact comprised bodyguards with whom Madikizela-Mandela surrounded herself in the late 1980s while her husband was concluding 27 years of political imprisonment.
