Biografie 📅 10 Februari 1985 📍 Zuid-Afrika

At a United Democratic Front rally in Soweto, Zindzi Mandela publicly read her father’s response to Botha’s offer. Mandela rejected a personal release that required him to renounce the ANC’s political position while the majority remained unfree. Zindzi’s act made her a public political voice in her own right and carried Mandela’s message beyond the prison’s censorship. Winnie had visited Mandela and brought his statement to the rally.
