The world premiere of the movie on Winnie Mandela is set for screening at the Toronto International Film Festival on the 8th of September. When the movie will be hitting SA shores
is yet to be decided.
The movie centres around the early life of Nomzamo Winfreda Madikizela (Winnie Mandela) and her romance with Tata Madiba when they were both young and fighting for the freedom of all South Africans.
Winnie's character is being played by US actor Jennifer Hudson while Terrence Howard is playing Mandela which has sparked much controversy. Winnie, directed by South African filmmaker Darrel James Roodt, has faced opposition from SA's actors' union and Winnie herself who has branded the movie an insult to herself.
No word yet on a local release date for Winnie.
