Crowds continue to gather outside the home of the late struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in Soweto to pay their respect. Flags will fly at half-mast for the next ten days in honour of the former ANC Women's League president. Many have described her as fearless and committed to the struggle against apartheid, despite the harsh treatment meted out against her which included imprisonment. Former president Jacob Zuma visited the home earlier today and says Madikizela-Mandela was an inspiration to all.
