Winnie Mandela was widely hailed as the mother of the nation. She was renowned for her courage and indomitable spirit. And in the 1970s she became a martyr when the white government banished her to a remote town called Brandfort. She was callously treated. On return to Soweto in 1985 it was as a heroine. Sir Kennedy said she was a source of inspiration. She built the Mandela United Football Club. With thousands of youths fleeing the security police there was no shortage of recruits. Winnie’s commander and chief of the football club was Jerry Richardson. He idolized her and commanded the bodyguard from her house here in Soweto.
