Zinzi Mandela was always by Winnie Mandela’s side, through thick and thin.

I need to get the 491 Days book by Winnie Madikizela Mandela

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela warned Nelson Mandela as early as 1990 about a negotiated CODESA settlement. Mama Winnie was clear that the path of negotiation Mandela was on was a compromise that preserved the economic structures of Apartheid while only changing political governance. She believed the ANC leadership, led by Mandela and Oliver Tambo at the time, was trading away the possibility of genuine economic transformation for a political handover of power. She predicted that within 20 years, the same poor Black South Africans who fought Apartheid would be back in the streets against the ANC itself, carrying the same demands for land, jobs, housing, and dignity. By many measures, her prediction proved accurate. For instance, miners striking against poverty wages were shot by an ANC government in 2012, while protesting for the dignity the ANC had promised. Mama Winnie told Mandela that he was giving the people a “dummy freedom” and that this would backfire. It did when the ANC finally lost its parliamentary majority. Interestingly, Mama Winnie was echoing Frantz Fanon’s argument that political decolonisation without economic decolonisation leaves the colonial structure intact, merely with new faces at the top. In The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon warned that the “national bourgeoisie” who take over after independence often merely replace the colonial masters, inheriting the colonial machinery rather than dismantling it. By adopting the existing financial structures and legal frameworks protecting established property rights, South Africa’s transition created a scenario where political power shifted, but the socio-economic hierarchy remained untouched. This created the exact catastrophe Fanon described, a state that is sovereign in name, yet structurally constrained by old economic forces beyond its control. Now, it’s true that the ANC was threatened with civil war and economic collapse, but Mama Winnie still argued that by prioritising stability and investor confidence, the ANC leadership was sacrificing economic freedom at the altar of investor confidence and giving up human rights to protect property rights. Needless to say, upholding property rights meant that the spatial and economic layout of Apartheid, i.e. the “township economy” vs. the suburbs remained static. The point here is that Mama Winnie’s warning to Madiba exposes how the very movement purported to have broken political chains willingly created its own economic handcuffs. By prioritising a negotiated settlement that left Apartheid-era structures untouched, the ANC inherited a state without inheriting its wealth, while poor were forced to pay the price twice, first under undemocratic White rule and today under a government they elected.
