Winnie Mandela --- IOL

Thousands of mourners have gathered in Soweto in South Africa for the official memorial service for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, the anti-apartheid campaigner and former wife of the late President Nelson Mandela.

The memorial service which is being held at Orlando Stadium in Soweto comes ahead of a funeral service to be held on Saturday.

Madikizela-Mandela died in a hospital in Johannesburg on April 2 at the age of 81 after a long illness.

Many saw the anti-apartheid campaigner as a controversial figure but others looked at her as the Mother of the Nation due to her struggle against white minority rule in South Africa.

As the crowds gather in their numbers for her memorial service, here are 6 quotes Madikizela-Mandela will always be remembered for.
