“Anti-aparteid campaigner”...

Well, that’s one way of looking at her. When I heard the news, I thought of how blessed South Africa is, with a ‘founding mother’ like Winnie and a constitution that is a model for the world, whereas we have to plod along with Martha Washington (who used to be on our stamps and currency and celebrated in our schools) and a Constitution that was written by old dead white guys with old-fashioned ideas of liberty and individual freedom.

Another feminist icon who would be unknown if not for her husband.

There goes James Veitch’s fortune. Hope he got the transfer before she kicked the bucket.

I would not want to be a mouse in her pocket.

Even though the Pope said there is no hell, I am thinking God might start one for her.

Well.. barring the raise-the-dead success of a tribal shaman, there'll be no more "in the hospital" moments.

Why do evil people get to live so long?

I had a boss some 40 years ago that answered that question.

"Because God don't want them."

“Winnie Mandela may be the only female political figure of our time who could make Hillary look warm and cuddly.”

Perfect! :)

It is always interesting how the last Marxist scumbag killer is described in such glowing terms.

I remember years ago on the Bill Cosby Show, he had grandchildren, twins, named Nelson and Winnie. They just had to make their political statement on what was supposed to be a sitcom.......

The Sun paper in England has this in their headline

The heartbreaking news comes after ‘Mama Winnie’ had been in and out of a Johannesburg hospital following a ‘long illness’
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5955603/winnie-mandela-dead-81-wife-nelson-married-activist-politician-apartheid/

Drudge had the link to the Sun but changed it to a yahoo news story.
Most of comments at the paper tell the truth about the mass murderer.
We are lucky that the Clintons did not get back in power. They just do not use burning tires to kill their victims.

LOL. “Anti-apartheid campaigner” is about the nicest thing you could say about this criminal.

Murderess, in the tradition of a Hitler or Mao. She may have never killed anyone personally, but she did give orders.
