Njabuko S. Ndebele's 'The Cry of Winnie Mandela', discussed here by Meri Kajaia and Nina Hamann, is fictional narrative centred around the stories of several women, including Winnie Mandela. The novel is a meditation on what it is to be a woman in the struggle – on waiting, longing, catharsis, and redemption.
