Mozambique: She was married to Samora Machel, the founding president of Mozambique, from 1975 until his tragic death in a plane crash in 1986.

South Africa: In 1998, on his 80th birthday, she married Nelson Mandela, the first post-apartheid president of South Africa, serving as First Lady until 1999.
