Former wife of the late Nelson Mandela, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, South
African anti-apartheid veteran has been admitted to hospital for
observation. This was made known by a statement made publicly by her family
members. “ On Wednesday, March 8 2017, Mrs Mandela went for routine medical
checkup in a hospital and decision was taken to admit her for further
observation,” the statement said. Moving back the memory lane, journalists
gathered that former first lady Madikizela-Mandela spent several weeks in
hospital in 2016 for back surgery.
She went through detentions, banishment and arrest during her ex-husband’s
27-year incarceration for his fight against apartheid. Madikizela-Mandela
campaigned for his release and for the rights of black South Africans.
There's no indication of what ails her, but the former wife
of the late Nelson Mandela, has been hospitalized several times in recent years
with a diabetic condition.
It was reported by media that Mandela died in 2013 and made no mention of
Madikizela-Mandela in his will, which she plans to challenge the will.
