JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Adelaide Tambo, widow of South African anti-apartheid hero Oliver Tambo and a stalwart in the struggle against racial segregation, died Wednesday, officials said. She was 77.
A statement from the African National Congress said Tambo collapsed at her home in Johannesburg. No other details were given.
"The ANC joins all South Africans in mourning the loss of a true heroine of our nation, a daughter of our soil who dedicated her life to the freedom of our people," it said.
