"With Zindzi’s death, aged just 59, South Africa loses an important generational link connecting our divided history to the promise of better, more inclusive, tomorrows.""She accompanied her mother into banishment at Brandfort, and visited her father on Robben Island from the age of 16.Zindzi’s speech in Soweto
