South Africa's beloved hero, who helped end apartheid and helped racial equality begin in South Africa, first black president who was and is respected all over the world has lost one of heis 9 gandchildren. N.Mandela stayed at home with his family Friday 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.
We all are lost for words for all the tragedy in the Mandela Family before:
1964 he was put in jail for making himself a representative of the millions of people who dared to rise up against a social system (polica of apartheid) whose very essence was war, violence, racism, oppression, repression and the impoverishment of an entire people. In 1990, Nelson Mandela was let out of prison after 27 years.In 1969 Mr. Mandela´s oldest son died. Prison authorities refused Mr. Mandela to attend the funeral and Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography. " I do not have words to express the sorrow or the loss I felt. It left a hole in my heart that can never be filled."
