[LISTEN] Behind the Politics: Zulu on motherhood and the liberation struggle
In the second episode of the podcast series Behind the Politics: She fights her battles silently Eyewitness News reporter Mia Lindeque sits down with Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu, who shares details on her life and career, including how she sacrificed motherhood for the liberation struggle.
Zulu recalls her experience in the armed wing of the African National Congress - Umkhonto weSizwe - and how she had to leave her daughters back home in South Africa with her grandmother.
Lindeque shares the details of the interview.
The sad story for me is that she had to give up so much of her life to fight for the liberation.
Mia Lindeque, Reporter - EWN
She only met her children when they were already teenagers and she is spending the rest of her life just trying to repair that relationship. She feels that she would have wanted to be more in involved in their lives.
