We have a law against admitting convicted criminals into Canada, no matter who they are or were married to. I could show you a thousand criminals who have repented and done good deeds like Winnie. Why should we use her a role model? The USA has a similar law, so who put the pressure on the US Immigration Dept to ignore her criminality? If you are looking for a reaction to the banning, you can start with the family of Stompie Moeketsi, a 14 year old who had his throat slit on Winnies order. There were another 11 attempted or actual murders involving Winnie and her bodyguards - Mandela United- You could also ask the youth who was whipped by Winnie herself or the 2 guys that had slogans carved on their chests and battery acid poured into the wounds.Archbishop Desmond Tutu's Truth and Justice Commission found that Winnie took part in the savage beatings of others. Winnie was found guilty and sentenced to 6 years in jail, reduced to a fine on appeal in 1997. She was an embarresment to Nelson, the ANC and to the cause of black Africans. Nelson did the right thing in divorcing Winnie. The ANC was shocked at the brutality of Winnie and her entourage and forced her to resign as President of the ANC Womens League. In 2003 she was convicted of 68 counts of fraud and theft. This related to succesful bogus applications to get money to pay for non-existant funerals for poor township people. What a gal!!!! It is about time for Winnie to stop using her ex-husbands name like other divorcee's do. She is not the sort of person that Canadians want to use as a heroine or role model due to her brutality and criminality. I do note that her criminal record is ignored when she visits the USA and she is welcomed with open arms! She is the perfect role model for Americans!
