Nelson Mandela Great Granddaughter Killed in Accident

Former South African President Nelson Mandela, 91, has announced he will not attend the opening of the World Cup due to the death of his 13-year-old great-granddaughter Zenani Mandela. Zenani died early Friday morning in a one car accident.

According to reports, the driver of the car was arrested for drunk driving and culpable homicide. Zenani and the unidentified driver were leaving the World Cup kick-off concert when the accident happened.

“It would therefore be inappropriate for him to personally attend the FIFA World Cup opening celebrations," said an official of the Mandela Foundation. “We are sure that South Africans and people all over the world will stand in solidarity with Mr. Mandela and his family in the aftermath of this tragedy.”

Zenani is the grandchild of Mandela's daughter, Zindzi Mandela. No other details were available.
