Zindzi Mandela is born during the ANC ban

Zindzi (Zindziswa) Mandela was born to Nelson and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela while both parents were drawn into political struggle and state repression. Family life was shaped by bans, underground work, and later imprisonment. Recording her birth alongside political events keeps the consequences for children and partners visible, rather than treating the biography as the story of one public man alone.
