JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- South African Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson will star as Winnie Mandela in a film to be made in 2010 in South Africa, Ma-Afrika Films said on Friday.
"Winnie" will tell the story of the controversial former wife of South Africa's first post-apartheid president Nelson Mandela, the South African Press Association reported.
"I was compelled and moved when I read the script," Hudson said in a statement.
"Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I'm honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told."
