The passing of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, an icon in South African history and an inspiration to many, has moved a number of public figures to share their personal tributes.

On Tuesday, 3 April South African music icon PJ Powers spoke to Barney Simon about Mama Winnie, talking about the kind of woman she was and about the lighter side of her personality.
