The Trials of Winnie Mandela Season 1 Episode 6

Winnie faces yet another trial – this time over fraud convictions. At the same time, she shares a meeting with unexpected old friends: former apartheid policeman Paul Erasmus, the man who once terrorised her. They reminisce about “the bad old days” – dirty tricks, surveillance, torture. Is it reconciliation, pragmatism, or something more complex? Meanwhile, former Commissioner of Police Johan van der Merwe denies under examination that orders to torture were ever given. Truth shifts. Memory fractures. Nothing feels settled.
