Madikizela-Mandela hated the 'demon' called state capture – Ramaphosa
11 April 2018
Struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela hated corruption and state capture, President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
"If there was anything that uMam' Winnie hated, it was corruption and this demon that [is in] our midst now called state capture", Ramaphosa said as he delivered a eulogy at a memorial service for the stalwart in Mbizana, Eastern Cape, where she was born.
The 81-year-old died at Netcare Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg on April 2.
"She served the interests of our people. She didn't serve her own family and any other interests. All she ever knew was to only serve the people of South Africa and that is what she was committed to," Ramaphosa said.
