Mandela’s daughter Zindzi, buried in Johannesburg

Zindzi Mandela, South Africa’s Ambassador to Denmark and daughter of Nelson and Winnie Mandela, was laid to rest next to her mother’s burial place at Fourways Memorial Park in Johannesburg North on Friday.

Zindzi’s son Zondwa said his mother’s legacy will live on.

“My mother was clear that it is important to celebrate who we are. We will continue her work. She was diversified, kind and loving and true to herself.

“We are happy to have given her a beautiful and celebratory send off. I can’t describe the feeling, it’s been an unfortunate loss,’’ he said.

Zindzi’s family confirmed that she tested positive for COVID-19 on the day of her death.

She died on Monday aged 59. (Xinhua/NAN)
