The Last Wish of Winnie Mandela

The Last Wish of Winnie Mandela is a deeply personal story about how a chance encounter with Mrs Winnie Madikizela-Mandela profoundly changed the life of a former apartheid apparatchik overnight. The author, Doc Pretorius, paints a humane and caring portrait of Mrs Madikizela-Mandela. this is a portrait that would not see the light of day in our vicious biased mainstream media. In Pretorius’ own words ‘Winnie became a close member of my family than any of my siblings or parents.’ This is profound if not bewildering. It is in these personal encounters that we find the real miracle of South Africa’s transition.
