“It dawned on me then that you either had to survive apartheid, or you ...” — Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Quote

“It dawned on me then that you either had to survive apartheid, or you had to perish with it. And I decided to survive.”

“I'm like thousands of women in South Africa who lost their men to cities and prisons... I stand defiant, tall and strong.”

“I have a good relationship with Mandela. But I am not Mandela's product. I am the product of the masses of my country and the product of my enemy.”

“One can't erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.”

“I've never doubted that apartheid - because it was of itself fundamentally, intrinsically evil - was going to bite the dust eventually.”

“When I talk about the end of apartheid, I prefer not to claim the honor that I have ended it.”
