Daughter of Former South African President Nelson Mandela, Zindzi Mandela, has passed away.
The 59-year old died at a Johannesburg hospital in the early hours of Monday morning.
She was also South Africa’s Ambassador to Denmark.
Zindzi will be remembered for her role as a young South African who read her father’s speech denouncing conditional release terms offered to Mandela during apartheid.
Together with her activist mother and anti-apertheid freedom fighter Winnie Mandela, the young Zindzi was denied of a normal upbringing after her mother was banished to the Orange Free State Province for eight years, depriving her of her education.
She leaves behind four children Zoleka, Zondwa, Bambatha and Zwelabo as well as husband Molapo.
