Mandela Relative Killed After World Cup Concert by stechi(m): 4:07pm On Jun 11, 2010 |
It should have been a moment of triumph—Nelson Mandela, basking in the cheers as Africa’s first World Cup opened. Instead, South Africa’s beloved anti-apartheid icon stayed at home with his family Friday in northern Johannesburg during the opening ceremony and game, mourning his 13-year-old great-granddaughter Zenani, who died in a car crash on the way home from a tournament-eve concert in Soweto. The Nelson Mandela Foundation said the tragedy “made it inappropriate” for the former president, who is 91, to attend the opening ceremony in Johannesburg. , http://g.sports.yahoo.com/soccer/world-cup/news/mandela-relative-killed-after-world-cup-concert--fbintl_ap-wcup-mandela-relativekilled.html |
