Nelson Mandela’s grandson Mandla Mandela, has called on his family and the public at large to allow his cousin Zoleka Mandela to rest in peace.

This is despite him defying Zoleka’s dying wish for people she did not want to attend her funeral. He expressed sadness at her passing.Zoleka died last Monday after a long battle with cancer, and she was buried on Friday in Fourways Memorial Park, north of Joburg.

In what was supposed to be a dignified send-off, drama was the order of the day as Zoleka’s body had to be exhumed.

She was not buried alongside her grandmother Winnie Madikizela-Mandela at the Fourways Memorial Park as initially reported.

This was due to Zenani Mandela sr obtaining a court interdict to stop Zoleka from being buried at the Mandela plot.

Police arrived at the scene to enforce the court interdict.A number of South Africans took to social media, attacking Zenani for depriving Zoleka of being laid to rest next to her loved ones, some even labelling her “evil”.

However, some defended Zenani, saying her acts were justifiable.Former president Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter Ndileka Mandela is reported to have confirmed the authenticity of a list of people who her cousin Zoleka did not want at her funeral. The list was shared over a million times on several social media platforms, including X and Facebook.
This list included prominent members of the Mandela family, including Mandla Mandela, Zenani Mandela sr, Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela, Zinhle Mandela, Nsundu Madikizela, Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo and Leeroy Andie Cana, the father of her last child Zingce.

Mandla denied allegations of abuse, releasing a media statement over the weekend in which he referred to unsavoury behaviour at Zoleka’s burial

Mandla was seen leaving the church service before other family members left, before Zoleka’s body was buried.Responding to the list, Mandla said the timing of the release of the letter was unfortunate and called on all to respect his cousin with dignity.

“It is extremely unfortunate that my cousin sister’s last rites were mired by this unsavoury behaviour and that serious allegations of this nature could be bandied about so irresponsibly. We call on all family and friends to restore respect and dignity and to let Zoleka rest in peace,” he said.

This is not the first time a family feud ensued at the Mandela family burial ceremony. A decade ago, Mandla and his aunt Makaziwe Mandela and other family members fought for burial rights of the late (former) president.

Leeroy gushed over his “wife” and said people misinterpreted their love and that it was Mihlali who was spoiling himThe YouTuber, who has been hitting the number one spot on the trends list for their relationship, recently spoke about dating a man in the process of divorce.“He is not divorced legally but it’s a long process. We’ve seen people file for divorce but still continue with their lives and they do get into relationships. That’s the situation my partner and I are in, that’s the reality of things,” she said during an interview with L-Tido.

“I’ve watched and let people say whatever they want because I am not going to be clarifying a situation. I am dating him. Everything else I feel I do not have a right to speak on. Don’t make me the face of something that has nothing to do with me.”

In an interview with Nounouche, Mihlali, who leads a private life, said she wished her relationship had not come to light with a scandal attached to it, but she was not bothered by people’s opinions.

“The timing to post each other was not right. He posted and I reposted his story. People will always have their opinions. It doesn’t affect me,” she said.

On the notion that she “stole” a man from another women, she set the record straight.

“Another important thing is that men are not possessions. You don’t just take and run with it. People are responsible for themselves. We make it seem like these men cannot think for themselves and in that regard we never hold them to the same standards we hold women.”

Andile Leeroy Cana, a painter, creative strategist, and the father of Zoleka Mandela‘s last-born child, has been facing criticism and scrutiny on social media following Zoleka’s death from cancer. Zoleka Mandela, an activist and author, had listed Andile in her diary as one of the people she wished to be excluded from her funeral. Andile respected her wishes and did not attend the funeral, choosing to mourn privately at home.

Zoleka Mandela’s diary listed Cana as one of the individuals she wished to be excluded from her funeral, along with Mandla Mandela, Zenani Mandela-Dlamini, and King Buyelekhaya Danlindyebo, among others. Respecting the wishes of the late mother of his child, Cana stayed away from the funeral, which took place on September 30 at Bryanston Methodist Church.

Andile and Zoleka initially met through Instagram when a friend suggested that Andile create a tribute jacket for Zoleka due to her cancer battle and activism work. Their collaboration led to a deeper connection, and they fell in love. However, Andile acknowledges that their relationship had its challenges, and they were in the process of trying to mend things before Zoleka’s passing.

“I mourned her in the privacy of my home,” he says. The two met on Instagram after a friend suggested that he should do a tribute jacket for her because she has been through a lot fighting cancer and her work as an activist. “I was single at the time and I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend, but the spark was too much to ignore,” he says. “The same friend who had suggested we work together surprisingly told me about her being gifted in custom-made shoes. So, we were like a match made in heaven,” he adds. The author and activist had a passion project where she painted sneakers and sold them. Andile painted jackets, which he sold. He once customised jackets for the late Shona and Connie Ferguson, Somizi Mhlongo, Bonang Matheba and Vusi Nova. When they met, he did not expect they would fall in love. “It was all about work in the beginning. We collaborated and this meant spending a lot of time together.” After weeks of working, the two fell in love. “Love is a beautiful thing. We could even finish each other’s sentences, but she warned me about the jealousy that was ahead of us, especially from people on social media. I didn’t even know much about her or anything about her prior to the friend introducing me,” he says. “So, I had to understand her and about her during the relationship. Eventually, she gave me the greatest gift of all, baby Zingce.”The criticism Andile has faced on social media has been difficult for him to handle. He emphasizes that people do not truly know the details of his relationship with Zoleka and asks for respect and privacy during this challenging time. He wants to focus on his work and his child, Zingce, and hopes that others will understand and support him in maintaining his peace.

Andile expresses his heartbreak over not being able to mend things with Zoleka before her passing and acknowledges that their relationship was not perfect. He believes that she may have been hurt when they separated but does not believe that she hated him. He is learning to cope with her loss and has chosen to distance himself from social media to better navigate this difficult period for the sake of his child and family.
