Winnie at 75: ‘the epitome of ubuntu’
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was named as the first woman recipient of the Ubuntu Honour on Monday – her 75th birthday – at an event attended by her neighbours in Soweto.
Madikizela-Mandela, who arrived at the Mandela house in Vilakazi Street hobbling on purple crutches that matched her outfit, was all smiles as she greeted the neighbours who had gathered there.
National Heritage Council chief executive advocate Sonwabile Mancotywa said the honour was bestowed on global personalities whose lives epitomised an expression of the values of ubuntu.
