Just as anticipated, the death of South Africa's anti-Apartheid activist and politician Winnie Mandela, has elicited extremist divergent opinions on her legacy.
Already, Kenya's president Uhuru Kenyatta and his political nemesis Raila Odinga, have eulogised the iconic freedom fighter as a 'true heroine' given the relationship between the two nations.
Back in South Africa, the death of 81-year-old former wife to first black President Nelson Mandela, has predictably, created animosity between whites and blacks, in a country that fought racial discrimination for years.
"She is a mother of the nation may she rest in everlasting peace," tweeted popular singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka, in solidarity with Winnie.
Another supporter, Siv Ngesi said: "I love how we must forgive countless white murdering racists but they want to trash Queen Mandela."
But majority of the white community slashed Ms Mandela into pieces with some accusing her of torture and violent murder of those opposed to her school of thought.
"You do realize that Winnie Mandela was a murdering communist who tortured people to death," wrote Peter Sweden.
David Vainquer said: "I hear Winnie Mandela died but I don't given a damn. Unlike her former husband, this woman was brutal, evil and corrupt human being."
Her death comes slightly over 7 years since the death of celebrated freedom fighter and ex-husband Nelson Mandela.
Despite the controversy, President Cyril Ramaphosa eulogised Winnie as a true patriot and was one of the people who visited her Soweto home in the outskirts of Johannesburg.
