South African freedom fighter Winnie Mandela, who passed away this month at age 81, “will outlive in her glory and marvel many of the presidents we’ve had since 1994,” said Ronnie Kasrils, the former chief of intelligence of both the African National Congress and the post-apartheid South African government. “She will outlive all of the leaders, barring Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo and Chris Hani.” Kasrils spoke on The Real News Network.
