Twitter is in awe of Zenani Mandela-Dlamini's damning speech at her mother Winnie's funeral service in Orlando‚ Soweto.

Mandela-Dlamini reminded the crowd of the treatment that her mother Madikizela-Mandela was subjected to throughout her life.

She said many who are mourning her today have helped peddle lies about her‚ "don't think for a second that we have forgotten".

Now we know why Zenani has always been the private one of the two Mandela sisters. She tells it like it is. She doesn't hold back!! #Bua #winniemandelafuneral
