Zoleka Mandela has opened her heart out to her late grandmother, Winnie Mandela. She did this in a post on social media, detailing how alone she felt since winnie’s demise.
She went on to acknowledge that her pregnancy is a gift and blessing from Ma Winnie.
“My day one…we’ve always known you to be the glue of the family. Since your passing, I barely recognise myself let alone anyone else in this family. In losing you, we have completely lost one another. I’ve been lost without you. My therapist says I need to figure out who I am without you. You were the only family I really had, the only one who truly believed in me.
“So, it’s true then? From death comes new life … knowing that you took so much of me with you, fearing that I would want to die right alongside you, you placed this blessing between the walls of my womb to remind me that I only need to look inside myself to find you because you have not left me.”
Zoleka closed the post by saying she will continue to live even when life feels meaningless without Ma Winnie.
