She was involved in South African politics for five decades and was married to Oliver Tambo, president of the African National Congress (ANC), from 1967 to 1991.
She was well-known for her role in the struggle against apartheid.
Following the end of apartheid, Tambo served as a member of parliament from 1994 to 1999.
