Zindzi Mandela

"Dear Apartheid Apologists, your time is over. You will not rule again. We do not fear you. Finally #TheLandIsOurs”."

"From a very early age I learnt to internalise, to project a very confident persona and be strong."

"I had to believe one day we would be free. The struggle became my motivation – that’s all I could hang on to."

"I like to define myself not according to what I have suffered but according to how much I have overcome, and I am very grateful to my mother for instilling that in both me and my sister… I never see a glass half empty but I see it half full."

"After our liberation she became an icon of the task we began of transforming our society and stepping into spaces and opportunities that had been denied to generations of South Africans."

"What she did, the sacrifices, the hardships she went through, the difficult life she led, we will forever be grateful because it was done so our people can be free."

"She carved her own path in life, and did things on her own terms."
