Mandela, Winnie (South Africa). Winnie Mandela is back. In less than a year, the estranged wife of South Africa's next president has climbed her way from political ostracism and press vilification to the top of South African politics. How could this have happened? Convicted of the kidnapping of a child who was later murdered, denounced by the African National Congress for her brutal behavior, and finally abandoned by her husband, Nelson, how could Mandela have engineered such a remarkable political comeback? On the eye of the first democratic elections in South Africa, Frontline presents, The Other Mandela," airing Tuesday, April 26, on PBS, an analysis of Winnie Mandela's return to power and of the millions of South Africans who still call her "Mama we Sizwe" - Mother of the Nation.
