"The Women on Farms Project staged a picket outside agricultural chemical producer Philagro SA in Somerset West on Tuesday.

It said the company holds the registration of a highly toxic chemical called Dormex.

The group said the substance has been banned in Europe since 2008, but is still exported from Germany and used in South Africa."

Watching The Trials of Winnie Mandela hits like a punch because it forces you to sit with contradictions that South Africa still hasn’t resolved. Nomzamo Winnie Winifred Zanyiwe Nobandla Madikizela-Mandela was never a simple figure, and that’s exactly why she unsettled both the apartheid state and, later, parts of her own movement. The apartheid regime absolutely ran a sustained psychological and propaganda war against her, from endless detentions, bannings, isolation, and a very deliberate attempt to paint her as dangerous and unstable. That part is extensively and well documented. But what becomes to me at least very uncomfortable is how, once the transition came, her own and our own political home; the ANC didn’t exactly rush to restore or protect her standing. Instead, there’s a strong argument that she became politically inconvenient.

By the early 1990s, the ANC was negotiating a delicate settlement. Stability, international legitimacy, and somewhat investor confidence mattered. Tata Nelson Mandela symbolized reconciliation and moral authority in a way that the world could overwhelmingly embrace. Mama Winnie, on the other hand, represented a more militant, uncompromising anger rooted in lived township reality. She spoke a language many ordinary people understood which is raw, direct, and impatient with compromise. That contrast mattered politically. In a transition built on negotiation, not outright victory, a figure who embodied resistance without compromise could easily be seen as a threat to the narrative being constructed.

But yes to say she was purely “betrayed” risks flattening the truth. There were real, serious controversies around her, especially the Stompie Seipei case. Those events weren’t inventions of propaganda alone; they actually happened, irregardless of which party manufactured the unfortunate outcome, and sadly the saga damaged her credibility. Again am of the view which prompts or agitate a harder question of whether those controversies were handled consistently and fairly compared to how other struggle figures were treated whom might equally have indirectly or directly affected by casualties of war oe liberation struggle. Many in the liberation movement operated in morally grey zones during a brutal period. Yet Mama Winnie seemed to carry a uniquely heavy burden of public condemnation. Whether that was because of gender, her defiance, or internal politics; it’s still out for debate.

There’s also a gendered layer that can’t be ignored. A militant woman who refused to be controlled is judged differently from militant men. She didn’t fit the mold of the “acceptable” female revolutionary or the “respectable” political spouse. That made her harder to manage, and in politics, what can’t be managed often gets brutally sidelined and placed in the political wilderness.

It is sad to see or relive the realities of how Mama Winnie’s later life carried a sense of isolation and loneliness, yes she was not entirely abandoned by everyone. Shenhad a family support, equally retained a strong grassroots support until the end. Many ordinary people never stopped seeing her as the embodiment of resistance. Even as the political elites kept a distance so to still carry favour with the powers that be; more so during the early years of the Mandela Presidency and some would equally stretch it as far to the Mbeki Presidency too. However the tension between elite political distancing and popular loyalty, is part of why her legacy remains so contested and so powerful.

When all is said and done, what I am reacting to is the discomfort of realizing that indeed history isn’t so clean. Heroes aren’t pure, movements aren’t that united, political loyalties ain't a given and certainly some victories come with compromises that leave some people out in the cold. The life of the late Mama Winnie truly forces me to confront that. Long live the undying spirit of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. #TrialsofWinnieMandela #NetflixDocumentary
