Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s family has welcomed the EFF’s decision to name its Johannesburg headquarters after her, on what would have been the late struggle icon’s 85th birthday on Sunday.
Members of Madikizela-Mandela’s family, including her daughter, Zenani Mandela-Dlamini, currently South Africa’s Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, celebrated her birthday with the EFF at the party’s local government election manifesto launch.
While Mandela-Dlamini, in her closing remarks, indirectly confirmed her family’s allegiance to the ANC, she emphasised that they did “not discard those that joined other political parties".She was speaking moments after EFF leader Julius Malema acknowledged that Madikizela-Mandela died still loyal to the ANC, while noting she had accommodated them after the ANC dismissed him and his deputy, Floyd Shivambu, from the ANC.
“I now want to tell you that it is actually warm outside the ANC. I found a home for the youth, the abused people, the exploited farmworkers, and that home is Winnie Madikizela-Mandela House,” Malema said.
