Cape Town – The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) says it will continue the late struggle icon Winnie Nomzamo Madikizela-Mandela’s legacy by building a state-of-the-art school for children who have been orphaned by HIV/Aids.
The EFF said this in a statement on Saturday, as it observed the fourth anniversary of the passing of Mama Winnie, as she was affectionately known.
Madikizela-Mandela passed away on April 2, 2018.
The school will be called the “Winnie Mandela Combined School”.

“This school will be a political training centre for leaders of the EFF, members of various legislation and the membership to capacitate them on Governance, organisational building and political education. When future generations look for safe haven from the brutality of the world, they will come to the embrace of Mama Winnie in a building and a school which carries her values and love for black people,” said the EFF.
