In the years that Nelson Mandela languished in Robin Island, it was Winnie Madikizela-Mandela who took up the mantle, leading the struggle against apartheid from the front.\u00a0 A fearless leader, political activist and a towering figure in South Africa\u2019s history \u2013 this is how millions of South Africans will continue to remember mam\u2019 Winnie, who passed away earlier this week, after a long illness.\u00a0 As tributes pour in from around the world, Carte Blanche celebrates the life of an icon who was regarded as the \u201cmother of the nation\u201d.<\/p>\n
Producer: Graham Coetzer \u201cThe leadership on Robin Island was\u2026 not subjected to the violence we were subjected to and if you have done that, if you were picking up the bodies of the children on June the 16th, 1976 \u2013 I can\u2019t pretend I suddenly woke up the following day, prayed to God and I was this angel, and I forgave.\u00a0 It was a battle, it was a process. It is still a process\u201d – Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.<\/p>\n The late struggle icon and political activist Nomzamo Winifred Madikizela-Mandela tells her story, in her own words.<\/p>\n Producer: Mandy Jacobson<\/p>\n A South African family was devastated when their daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. \u00a0Since her diagnosis three years ago, 6-year-old Mia Cara has undergone months of intense chemotherapy, lumber punches,\u00a0gruelling\u00a0bone marrow biopsies, intramuscular injections and countless days and nights in and out of hospital. But in a major medical breakthrough in genetics, US scientists have developed a\u00a0specialized gene therapy treatment, which uses the body\u2019s own immune system to treat Leukaemia in children. This treatment was recently approved by the FDA and hundreds of children have been successfully treated worldwide. After undergoing the Car-T cell treatment, Mia Cara is now officially in remission. Carte Blanche follows her remarkable success story.<\/p>\n Producer: Anna Teichert Line-ups are subject to change.
