SOUTH AFRICA: WINNIE MANDELA IS SACKED FROM GOVERNMENT

(27 Mar 1995) English/Nat
Winnie Mandela has been sacked from the government by her estranged husband, South African President Nelson Mandela.
Mrs Mandela had been the Deputy Minister for Art, Culture and Science and Technology.
Her sacking rids the cabinet of a rebellious and divisive figure who publicly criticised its conservative economic policies.
President Mandela took the action after weeks of speculation about Mrs Mandela's future after she once more became the centre of controversy with outspoken remarks about the government.
There was also criticism of her "undemocratic leadership" of the African National Congress Women's League and an unauthorised state trip to West Africa.
The final straw apparently was a criminal investigation over allegations of corruption.
SOUNDBITE:
"As President of the Republic and head of the Government of National Unity I have relieved Mrs Nomzamo Winnie Mandela of her position as Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology. This decision has been taken both in the interests of good government and to ensure the highest standards of discipline among leading officials of the government of national unity. I have taken this decision after much reflection, given that comrade Winnie Mandela has in the past played an important role in the struggle against Apartheid. Both in her individual capacity and as a leading member of the ANC and the rest of the democratic movement. I hope that this action will help the former deputy minister to review and seek to improve on her won conduct in position of responsibility, so as to enable her to make a positive contribution to society, which her talents would enable her. In order to ensure this smooth function of government and uninterrupted service to the nation, I have appointed Brigitte Mabandla as the Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture and Science and Technology, she will assume this position with immediate effect. Brigitte Mabandla is a member of the National Executive Committee of the ANC.
SUPER CAPTION: Nelson Mandela, South African President
Already, opposition parties have praised Nelson Mandela's decision.
South Africa's Democratic Party says Mrs Mandela should never have been in government and President Mandela should not fear his estranged wife undermining his popularity.

    Winnie Mandela is now far more Popular and Respected than Nelson Mandela will ever be in Death. Now that the truth is out. Nelson Mandela sold his soul and his country out, and never told the truth about it. He served as a nice Templar to the Queen of England and helped colonize Africa.

She wasn't psychic, she didn't know they'd let him go after, again, almost 3 decades. Even though she cheated, she still kept his name and his fight up and running for almost 3 decades. If ti wasn't for her he would've been long forgotten and he would've never gone free. He would've completed life in prison. Do you think he would've remained faithful if the tables were turned and it was her instead of him in prison? He would've probably even divorced her if she was the one in prison for that long

    Truth is no man can put up with a woman cheating on her with a younger man and abusing state funds while on it! Mandela never called himself a Saint or Jesus. Christ for that matter to go around forgiving such humiliating acts! He deserved to be respected! I doubt if they even shared a bedroom, probably Winnie didn’t want him anywhere close to her but still discretion is the key. You don’t flaunt your lovers around your older husband breaking his spirit!! I hate what Winnie did yet I also accept that she was a beautiful woman wanted by many and maybe she could not say no….. You don’t cheat like that and think you will have forgiveness!
