Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is seen here in 1991 leaving the high court in Joburg after being sentenced to six years in the case of James "Stompie" Seipei. Despite the horror which played out for Stompie, killed by members of Madikizela-Mandela's notorious Mandela United Football Club, and two other boys at her house in Soweto, she didn't go to prison and was a deputy minister in Nelson Mandela's cabinet.
