Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.
Carlos Castaneda
There is nothing that makes one pause like death, I don’t know what it is about the face of death that drives one to take time to appraise life. I learnt of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s death from my little sister, the manner in which she delivered the news showing a widening gap of political memory. I realise that as a child born after 1994, she was too young to remember the struggle and as such, she and her peers framed the death of Madikizela-Mandela through humour.
