Mandela & Winnie

Even though it seemed to be a mutual respect to break ties with his wife, Mandela must have been disappointed that he could not live up to the responsibilities of being a husband and father. Winnie was such a strong support for him and understood the situation when he had to leave for long periods of time, hide, or be imprisoned for decades. Winnie was an incredible wife and her loyalty to Mandela was unbelievable. “She married a man who soon left her; that man became a myth; and then that myth returned home and proved to be just a man after all.” (Mandela 600)
