MS FLATELA
Thank you - I am a mother of three sons in Kimberley,  I am a nurse by profession.  My political involvement started when I was still a young adult.  I have been very involved in the ANC activities which actually at a time led to my arrest during the State of Emergency.  Because I think the reason was I  was then working in the DESCOM which is a detainee's support parents committee because we use to help the children with funds who were in Bougroep and Transvaal Road.
 And the only thing I really experienced is let me say I am not sorry to have been active in the ANC.  The only thing which I am a little  bit sorry, I was never happy at work, because I use to be called Winnie Mandela.  I make myself Winnie Mandela.  But well because of poverty and everything I had to stick out working.  But as from today -  as today I am still active in the ANC.
 I have been instrumental in building up the Women's League in the Northern Cape when the ANC was un-banned, I was one of the people who was called to organise for the Woman's League and most of the branches I launched in the Northern Cape - thank you.
