Anti-apartheid campaigner and ex-wife of country's first President Nelson Mandela died on Monday aged 81.
Many called her "the Mother of the Nation".
Winnie Mandela was one of the most prominent leaders of the decades-long fight against white minority rule in South Africa.
When her husband, the late Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years - she became the face of the movement to bring equality and justice.
But years later, that image suffered when Winnie was convicted of involvement in the beating death of a suspected police informant.
