WinnieMandelaInternationalAirport Lungelo Gumede and six others have already created a life-sized wax statue of Madikizela-Mandela which they unveiled at their pop-up museum several days ago.

While most of the wax statues that he and his team have created have usually taken four to six weeks, the statue of 81-year-old Madikizela-Mandela, who died in April 2018, took the team 10 weeks to complete, with one person focusing on the mould, the other on intricate details such as her eyelashes and lips and even someone commissioned to focus on the Xhosa attire that Madikizela-Mandela is wearing.

The biggest nod of approval that they were looking for, however, was from Madikizela-Mandela's daughter, Zindzi."She contacted us, asking for our details and our profile to see how we work and the material that we do. We are working on a report which should be ready for her by Wednesday," he said.
