One of the revelations is that the ANC allegedly gave Nelson Mandela an ultimatum to divorce her or lose the presidency.
Social media went abuzz after watching the documentary, and many feel they owe Mama Winnie an apology. The nation has voiced both shock and admiration over the previously unheard side of her story. Check out some of the comments below.

It’s scary people are only finding out about the brutal propaganda machine against #Winnie now. The masterful media/communications exercise to bury her values/integrity could only work for a season.

The #Winnie doccie is pulling all kinds of memories & experiences about her courage & suffering. She personified our suffering. The outpouring of emotion about Mme Winnie is poignant & justifiable. She remains a hero & likely catalyst for a better tomorrow!

#Winnie single handedly making an entire regime fear you!!! When they had to arrest her, the police came in swarms!! Just for ONE WOMAN, if that isn't power I don't know what is. She was stronger than I ever ever imagined she was. I'm sad to celebrate her life too late pic.twitter.com/9K0G2Nu7Il

Zodwa Zwane, #WinnieMandela’s assistant said at her memorial today (agreeing with a statement made by Julius Malema) “she was the stone that was rejected even by the builders”. The #Winnie doccie puts it into perspective. #RestInPowerMamaWinnie #SheAlwaysLovedHerPeople

Watched the doccie #Winnie lastnight & watching it again right now. #WinnieMadikizelaMandela did NOT DESERVE THIS! Her Party who now Praise Her as their Heroin, did not Appreciate Her while she was Alive. Symptoms of Society I guess, we Do Not Appreciate Our Women's sacrifices. pic.twitter.com/XNv3S4ZLaT
