Actress Jennifer Hudson an Oscar winner for the movie Dreamgirls is a famous actress and is going play a role of Nelson Mandela's ex-wife Winnie in a movie.
Mandela played a very important role in freeing her husband after 27 years in jail but has been linked to a murder.
The director of the movie is a South African film maker Darrell Roodt. He has done some famous works in a movie like Cry, The Beloved Country and Sarafina.
Jennifer is a second international actor to a South African image.
A movie called Invictus is about Mr Mandela where US actor Morgan will play South Africa's black president.
Nelson took divorce from Madikizela Mandela in 1996 just four years after his release. Madikizela is still known as the mother of the nation.
Madikizela has been caught up in the kidnap and murder of young protestor Stompie Seipei who was believed to be an informant.
"Working with the extraordinary cast of Dreamgirls was humbling and exciting all in one. I pushed myself with every scene, to stay caught up with the talent I was portraying, as well as the talent I was working alongside."
