“When they came to take my mom,
we thought it was the usual raid. They had taken her to Protea police station, she is being interrogated and completely unaware that she is being packed up and being sent to #Brandfort ”

#WinnieMandela was tried for her involvement in kidnapping of 4 boys, who (Appeal Court accepted) she believed were being abused

Phila Ndwandwe was 24 and breastfeeding her two month old baby. She was abducted by Durban Security Branch members and refused to cooperate. Her killers stated that they did not have evidence to prosecute her and that they could not release her, and so decided to kill her.
The police had tortured Phila - who they kept naked - for days and days. She refused to turn against her comrades, and made herself a pair of panties with a plastic bag. When her bones where found in the field where she'd been killed, the plastic still remained.
