ANC Fails To Honour Mama Winnie Mandela, While The EFF Keeps Her Legacy Alive Oppinion

The African National Congress (ANC) has come under heavy criticism for failing to adequately honor the legacy of the late struggle stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, despite her pivotal role in the fight against apartheid and her long-standing affiliation with the party. Mama Winnie, as she was affectionately known, was a towering figure in the liberation movement, yet her contributions appear to be receiving more recognition from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) than from the ANC.

During recent commemorations, the EFF held high-profile events to celebrate and preserve her memory, with speeches highlighting her sacrifices and her fearless stance against injustice. Led by Julius Malema, who once counted himself among the ANC’s youth wing, the EFF has frequently positioned itself as the true protector of Mama Winnie’s legacy. At a memorial service hosted by the party in her hometown of Soweto, Malema emphasized her unwavering commitment to the cause, even when she was ostracized by her own party.

Mama Winnie stood firm for the people, even when the ANC turned its back on her. It is our duty to make sure her legacy is not forgotten,” Malema stated. The EFF leader also announced that the party would continue to push for Madikizela-Mandela’s contributions to be given their rightful place in South African history, calling for streets, schools, and institutions to be renamed in her honor.

In contrast, the ANC’s efforts to honor her have been sporadic and often viewed as insincere. Critics argue that the ruling party has not fully embraced her as one of its heroes, partly due to her outspoken nature and controversial political stance, which often put her at odds with the ANC leadership during her lifetime. Some within the party have privately acknowledged that the failure to consistently celebrate her legacy stems from lingering discomfort with her radical approach and criticism of the ANC’s shortcomings.

ANC spokespersons have, however, rejected these claims, stating that the party respects and honors Madikizela-Mandela as a key figure in the liberation struggle. “The ANC acknowledges Mama Winnie’s role in our freedom and has commemorated her in many ways, but it is not always about public displays. Her impact is deeply felt within the movement,” an ANC representative said.

Despite these reassurances, many South Africans feel that the ANC’s tributes to her remain inadequate compared to the EFF’s continuous efforts to uplift her memory. The EFF has consistently pushed for Madikizela-Mandela to be remembered as a revolutionary figure whose influence goes beyond traditional party lines.

This stark contrast between the two parties in honoring one of South Africa’s most iconic figures raises broader questions about how political legacies are preserved and who has the right to claim them. As the EFF continues to position itself as the vanguard of Mama Winnie’s legacy, the ANC faces increasing pressure to do more to acknowledge and celebrate one of its most influential yet contentious members.
