The former home of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela on Saturday (29/11)
was declared a museum during a ceremony which featured
traditional South African singing and dancing.
After five days of negative publicity, Madikizela-Mandela, who
spent the whole of last week under intense pressure at the TRC
hearings into alleged human rights abuses by her so-called
'Mandela United Football Club', refused to comment on the
hearings.
