BBC World Service - Newshour, South Africa's Winnie Mandela Dies

South African anti-apartheid campaigner Winnie Madikizela-Mandela has died aged 81

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

South Africa's prominent anti-apartheid campaigner, Winnie Mandela, has died in Johannesburg after a long illness. She was the former wife of the country's first black president, Nelson Mandela. We reflect on her life but how far was her legacy tainted in later years?

Also in the programme: we'll hear about a dramatic change of tack from the Israeli government when it comes to deporting African migrants; why teachers in the US state of Oklahoma have walked out on strike, despite having a pay-rise voted through; and a Wisconsin ginseng grower reacts to the imposition of Chinese tariffs.
