But there is evidence that she did not kill the child.

She was accused and the lie took off cos of the reporting on the story. The man who killed Stompie was arrested and confessed to having lied about Winnie's involvement. He was also paid R30k in 94 whilst in prison for making that accusation.

There's a counter historical record on this story. Please engage it.

I cannot fault you on disagreeing with the methods she employed. This is a question of preference, not substance of what she was fighting against.
But blatantly ignoring counter views and holding forth with one that validates your own is disingenuous.

She admits she was wrong and apologised to the parents. So.... have fun ignoring that counter view. I stand by my view that she gave that boy a death sentence and she may have apologised for it... but I'm sure it doesn't help the poor boy or his family. There is historical reference to her brutality. You can cheer on a killer, I prefer not to. If that is distasteful to you... nothing I can do about that. I won't be checking anymore comments on this thread as child killing and support of it sickens me.

Not cheering Winnie at all Kitty. I have said before, she is no saint. She had faults, made mistakes and apologised for not playing a bigger role to avoid his death. She certainly was complicit. But labeling her a murderous psycho is inaccurate as it seeks to underscore her whole life to a murderer. With little context and a deeper analysis of all elements im which such things took place.

I am not cheering a murderer. I am checking you on a jaundiced view of someone whose life was messed up by a brutal regime.

That is all.

Have you read "Walter & Albertina - In Our Lifetime" ?

I have greater admiration for Ma Albertina who did all of that and was never tainted with accusations of kidnapping and fraud. In my book, Albertina Sisulu will always be the Mother of the Nation. (Not negating all the contributions of other great women in the struggle against Apartheid. And there were many, black, white, colored, indian)

Well said, brother.

I said my piece, over and out from this thread. the hypocrits can keep mincing.

Thought political views not allowed on this site.

Interesting from both sides of the divide.
But perhaps good and bad are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Can good and bad co-exist in a person?
I certainly hope so. As the result of my own personal moral exam hinges on that.

Many things can be said to motivate both sides of this 1 coin. But at the end of the day no matter what you said to affirm either cause, the guys ain't getting laid and the ladies ain't getting paid from the fruits of this discussion. I understand that this is a free and open forum, and all viewers have the right to participate or avoid the subject. I just want to point out that emotions are running high and it will undoubtedly hamper the mood in other discussions on the forum where people are trying to get their needs catered to. As per the original intent for the forum.

Can ESA admin please put an end to this thread. It's an extremely sensitive and upsetting topic which causes more damage in an already racially damaged society.

Why on earth would one post this shit... i think correct me if im wrong its against the rules...

This is an open forum, snowflakes move on please
