AS SEEN ON TV: WINNIE MANDELA

Later this year the BBC will air "Mrs. Mandela", a TV movie about the life of Winnie Mandela, the former wife of Nelson Mandela. As the BBC says, the movie will be "a love story, a triumph and a tragedy, charting Winnie Mandela's progression from innocent country girl to politicised fighter against apartheid, from adoring wife to revolutionary firebrand."

Sophie Okonedo stars as Winnie Mandela while David Harewood will portray Nelson Mandela. David Morrissey will play the role of police interrogator Theunis Swanepoel.

"To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust."
