SOWETO, South Africa (Reuters) - As tributes poured in for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela who died on Monday, the head of South Africa's leftist opposition party said misogynists in the ruling ANC had prevented her taking her rightful place as president.

Senior African National Congress (ANC) figures stood side-by-side with members of the hard-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party outside Madikizela-Mandela's red-brick house in Soweto, chanting songs from the struggle against white minority rule as mourners gathered for a second day.
