It's been revealed that Ma Winnie Mandela will undergo surgery today.
Her daughter, Zindzi Mandela broke the sad news on Twitter late last night. It hasn't been made clear what surgery Ma Winnie is set to undergo.
"Wishing my mother a speedy recovery and good luck with the surgery. Love always," tweeted Zindzi.
Ma Winnie, who suffers from diabetes has been hospitalised previously for minor surgeries and treatment, but has generally been known to be fit as a fiddle.
We sure do hope this is also a minor injury.
