In 2008, Mandela told the world: “It is time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now.” #MandelaDay is not only about remembering what he did. It is about deciding what we will do next. Memory carries the story forward. Action carries the work.

During the last wave of #xenophobia in South Africa, I had the chance to ask Mama Winnie what her thoughts were about it. While it was happening, while Africans were turning on one another. What she told me has stayed with me. You will hear it in her own words at the end of this.

Dancing into the weekend with VIBES! 💃🏾 #ZolaniMahola new single, #XhosaNostra, is out now. Head to the link in her bio to listen. Proud to have Zolani's extraordinary voice featured throughout @trialsofwinnie soundtrack. Go show her some love. ❤️

“We are here to try and understand how power was exercised when the exercise of power was problematic, when it was undemocratic” - Professor Shireen Hassim

Loved, feared but never ignored, Prof Thuli Madonsela talks about Winnie Mandela's reputation and how it was used in the yesteryears. 📺: The Trials of Winnie Mandela

Freedom is easy to celebrate. The struggle that built it is harder to face. Workers. Protesters. Fighters. #WomenLikeWinnie This #WorkersDay, we remember the fight that made freedom possible. @trialsofwinnie now streaming on @NetflixSA #WinnieMandela #TheTrialsOfWinnieMandela

@KhanyisaniNtul4 @g_baks Indeed she was! Hopefully you think her story has now been retold in a new light on @trialsofwinnie

@g_baks @Ichikowitz This was a powerfully woman but her story was somehow deemed

Winifred Nomzamo Zanyiwe Mandela Madikizela We sorry you passed on before your legacy was vindicated. S/O to @Ichikowitz foundation for rewriting history. What an awakening...

@g_baks Thank you for this! A legacy was reshaped as it rightfully should have been. Mama was such a key player, and we wanted to show the different aspects of her so people understood the different sides.

@g_baks @YoursBrown Thank you Greg. Appreciate the very kind words.

@Ichikowitz @YoursBrown Thank you as well for the great work.. Her name is definitely restored rightfully in the history book of the struggle heroes. As it should be.. And should have been..

This is how you do a documentary. Unbiased and her grandbabies did a great job approaching her story from a point of love while asking difficult questions. Winnie’s story is far from perfect but she went through so much.

Absolute. Unflinching. Not everyone could carry it. @trialsofwinnie now streaming on @NetflixSA #WorkersDay #WinnieMandela #TheTrialsOfWinnieMandela #WomenLikeWinnie

@__T_touch WOW!!!

Mbali recreated this picture of Winnie Mandela 🔥

@g_baks @YoursBrown We had to make it balanced and unbiased. Showing different sides so the viewers could make up their minds. Glad you got the nuances. Thanks for watching!

@YoursBrown That's what makes it so beautiful, they covered every angle.. Hey they even brought her haters.. What a woman..

@Gudluzamagudlu @YoursBrown This is what you call a comment!! Thank you for watching and thrilled you enjoyed it!

@YoursBrown They did , this is what you call a docu series!!!! BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS FAILED THAT WOMAN, ANC FAILED THE STRUGGLE!!

@YoursBrown WOW! What a comment. Thank you! We are thrilled you enjoyed it.

@BummiNAnderson @NetflixSA @netflix We had to launch on Netflix in Africa, as the continent was important to Mama Winnie. This is a global story though, so keep an eye out for the rest of the world airing soon

@NetflixSA I want to see this @netflix in America!

Freedom fighter, mother, wife, enigma. South African icon Winnie Mandela's legacy is examined by her granddaughters in this incisive documentary series.

@BonoloMatiye @NetflixSA Thats a fair question to ask. Hopefully you've watched the series and have made up your mind :)

@NetflixSA are they tainting our mother's image?
