Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will lead a government delegation to represent Ghana at the funeral of the late Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in Soweto, South Africa.
The renowned freedom fighter will be buried on Saturday, April 14, 2018.
Other members of the delegation include the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Charles Owiredu; Deputy Minister for Information, Hon. Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei, MP; Ambassador-at-Large, Dr. Edward Mahama; and Protocol Officer at the Office of the President, Ms. Ama Serwaa Nyarko.
Mrs Madikizela-Mandela was born in 1936 in the Eastern Cape - then known as Transkei.
She was a trained social worker when she met her future husband in the 1950s. They went on to have two daughters together.
They were married for a total of 38 years, although for almost three decades of that time they were separated due to Mr Mandela's long imprisonment.
It was Mrs Madikizela-Mandela who took his baton after he was jailed for life, becoming an international symbol of resistance to apartheid. She too was jailed for her role in the fight for justice and equality.
To her supporters, she became known affectionately as "Mother of the Nation

Nana Kunadu Rawlings is a strong person when it come to women empowerment Winnie Madela was also a strong woman who was a force when it come to freedom of women .
The relevance of Mrs. Rawlings in Ghana's contemporary politics is a force to reckon with.
Konadu now Ambassador for funeral affairs. Good one there.
LEAVE MRS. RAWLINGS ALONE WAI! UNGRATEFUL NDC
BY THE WAY ARE THEY NOT GHANAIANS ? AAAABA.WHY NOT ASK OF THE PHYSICS INSTEAD ,HUH ? STOP THE DIVISIONS IT WILL NOT HELP THE FUTURE GENERATIONS
Good leadership qualities. She is still relevant.
Only fuulls will think Rawlings still loves NDC. If you are deaf, I think at least your eyes are clear. Their spoke person Ernest owusu bempah is now working for Ghana gas as their pro. Listen rawlings praises on nana addo, and now the wife is leading government delegation. Do you know what that means, they are in bed with nana addo. So why would you for fear decide to allow him chance to have o be feet in NDC and the other in NPP. Rawlings was the same person who sold Martin amidu to NPP. NDC leaders should open their eyes.
Somebody should explain to me the chemistry between the Rawling's and Nana Addo
This is a sign of good Governance from the Government, I am happy for the former First Lady, she is the right Person to Lead a delegation. Excellent!
Very soon she will be first vice chairperson in NPP. This is why rawlings needs to be kicked out.
