Johannesburg - “This is who I am. I am ANC,” said anti-apartheid icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s former personal assistant, Zodwa Zwane, as DA leader Mmusi Maimane took the party's campaign to her Dobsonville home in Soweto on Monday. Maimane - who met Zwane during his visit to Grace Bible Church on Sunday and promised her a visit - was flanked by several DA members, including DA Youth leader Luyolo Mphiti.
Maimane, who also hails from the township, thanked Zwane for taking care of Madikizela-Mandela, adding that he was not disappointed about her decision to make a political statement. Zwane said she was humbled by the DA and Maimane’s acknowledgement of her 11 years of service to “Mama Winnie”, as Madikizela-Mandela was affectionately known.
