Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Rushed To Hospital

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela has been rushed to the hospital and now hospitalised with a kidney infection.  The 81-year-old was a South African anti-apartheid activist and the ex-wife of late President Nelson Mandela.



She reportedly complained of a ‘loss of appetite’ and that ‘one of her legs was painful’.  Her spokesman Victor Dlamini said she was taken to Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg on Sunday.

‘Upon admission it was discovered that she had an infection that had affected her kidneys. She is expected to make a full recovery and should spend approximately a week at the hospital,’ Dlamini said in a statement. Madikizela-Mandela has been in and out of hospital since 2016 for back and knee surgery.
