We can all learn something valuable from the way in which Zoleka Mandela lived and embraced life, even through some of the toughest challenges. Bonolo Sekudu pays tribute to her.
Zoleka. What a life, what strength! The death of the Mandela grandchild has touched the hearts of South Africans. Not because she was born into an iconic family that was respected and adorned worldwide. Imagine for a moment Nelson Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela as your grandparents — stalwarts who have shaped history, particularly black people's history, beyond the confines of South Africa.
