a determined fighter against white minority rule in south africa but when he mandela's reputation began to suffer in later years due to a number of controversies. still she remains one of south africa's most defining figures the country's president today was among many you paid tribute to her in the midst of repression she was a voice of defiance and resistance. in the face of exploitation she was a champion of justice and equality throughout her life she made an everlasting contribution to the struggle through secor fi's and. determination i'm joined here in the studio by on the surface and she is a south african journalist a familiar face or of the w. she's an author and a documentary filmmaker and she has reported extensively on her country only it's

good to see you again i dare ask the question because i know the answer is is a huge one who was winnie mandela when i think she's known as the ex-wife of nelson mandela but she was a very strong lead in in right she wants a social worker in the fifty's who could have gone to study in america bit marry him and then that and in the time that he was imprisoned she kept his legacy alive often think without her he would have not become the i can for the un to have had to struggle a teenager became would you see she is the one person who made a nelson mandela possible. while he was imprisoned certainly i mean nelson mandela and his own right is a very strong leader but he was locked away the a.n.c. was in exile and there was no opposition and when he was fearless she was not scared of the white apartheid government she was very outspoken they kept on

banning has said that she couldn't be outspent and they kept on trying to break and i think in the end maybe did break you know we've got a clip here that shows her speaking about this opinion that she had concerning the white man's hate towards the black man in south africa take a look when i was in solitary confinement. for those eighteen months. i would regard that is really my turning point in my political outlook. i must confess up to that state i was not how we the extent to which the afrikaners hated it made its country. and that stayed with her to the differ life to this but i mean she was making that statement to white men to my father boys around pre-con and but she was treated very badly

when she was in solitary confinement eighteen months at the time she had children who were eleven ten eleven very young children who didn't know where they fall if the father was in prison a mother in solitary confinement and she was treated very badly i mean she had so many struggles. personal struggles and then nelson mandela was released their marriage ended and you and i were talking earlier there was some point where people say that she lost the plot. what happened in her letter years i think she actually lost it's a bit earlier when she was in she was then vanished the brunt force in the in the late seventy's and stayed there for nine years in the area where she didn't speak the language and very isolated and i think in that time she just started to lease the property and she surrounded to set itself just before mandela was released with

people who was very dodgy characters and probably worked for the security police and got into a lot of troubles and she was a bad. judge of character often and his she was very controversial people either love her or hate her there's no sort of in-between with winnie. we're going to pick up on that a little bit later on on the day and i did talk a little bit more extensively about when you meant well i'm only seventy as always good have you on the show. well tonight reports are coming in from syria that rebel fighters are leaving their last stronghold in eastern guta syrian media showed buses that are said to be carrying militants and their families leaving the area protrusion forces say that they've cut a deal with the largest rebel group the army of islam but some members of the group deny that sources also tell d.w. news that hundreds of wounded fighters from a different group have been bussed out of the area we're now in anti-government

twenty five or twenty six right. right. then. for nothing. my life. before. and since. that is going for nothing. here's some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world egypt's election authority says president. has won a second term in office after taking just over ninety seven percent of the vote in last week's ballot turnout was at around forty one percent opposition groups had called for a boycott declaring the vote a sham israel says it has agreed to a deal with the united nations on resettling thousands of african asylum seekers
