• A new book on South African liberation struggle icons Nelson and Winnie Mandela is a masterful biography of the pair.
• Jonny Steinberg’s splendid 550-page biography, Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage, ends on a note of pathos with a poignant tale from Nelson Mandela’s deathbed.
• Four days from death in December 2013, Nelson is in an advanced state of dementia and refuses to eat.
• Winnie, on the other hand,
  is at once the most commanding figure and a figure of terrible subjection.

Ambition and expedience

• The early Nelson is portrayed as a man consumed by insecurity and ambition.
• Sometimes ambition and expedience get in the way of altruism and principle.
• He joins the Communist Party, but when the Pan-Africanist Congress takes off, he proposes sidelining whites and dropping the Party.
• This book gives space to just two of his many lovers – the Women’s Federation leaders Lilian Ngoyi and Ruth Mompati.

Nelson and Winnie post-1990

• It was in his bid to save her after the murder of Seipei that Nelson bared his teeth and emerged in the least favourable light.
• First, when Winnie failed to get elected to the executive of her local ANC branch in Soweto, he got his aides to set up a new branch, which duly elected her.
• Nelson did all this to save Winnie.

Four murders

• The book directly implicates Winnie in the murders of two young men, Lolo Sono and Siboniso Tshabalala (both falsely accused of being informers, when the real informers were Winnie’s lover Johannes Mabotha and Jerry Richardson).
• It also strongly implies that she was behind the murder of her doctor Abu Baker Asvat (who’d examined Seipei) but leaves the question open as to whether she’d ordered Seipei’s murder.
