I almost sobbed when I heard the news of comrade #zinzimandela 's passing. I'm proud of having met and called her my comrade. The picture is when she read Madiba's letter rejecting PW Botha's offer of conditional release from prison in Soweto. I will miss her. Hamba kahle cadre💔 pic.twitter.com/qzXzYBXo5s
