The South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation announced the sad news this Monday. “Zindzi will not only be remembered as a daughter of our struggle heroes, Tata Nelson, and Mama Winnie Mandela but as a struggle heroine in her own right. She served South Africa well,” Naledi Pandor, Minister of International Relations, said in a short statement this morning.
The department also said it was still collecting information on the cause of Mandela’s death and expects to release a detailed statement later. However, it was shared that she died early Monday morning at a Johannesburg hospital. She was just 59-years-old.
She is survived by her husband and four children. We will continue to keep you updated when more details have been shared.
