Two days after her 13th birthday, Zenani was in a car that flipped over on a central Johannesburg highway while returning from a World Cup concert the night before the kick-off.

Winnie Mandela was so devastated upon hearing the news that she was briefly taken to hospital for treatment for shock. The public was invited to grieve with the family in the chapel at St Stithian's College, the elite Methodist school north of Johannesburg where Zenani was in the sixth grade and a member of the choir. She played the piano and the saxophone, and participated in a marimba group and drumming band at school.

The teenager loved reading and writing, enjoyed making pancakes and scrambled eggs, and set up beauty pageants with her friends, according to a profile supplied by the Mandela Foundation, which acts as the official office for the Nobel laureate.

During the final of the Confederations Cup last year, she carried the trophy to the pitch and placed it on the podium before it was presented to Brazil. Zenani was the daughter of Zoleka Mandela-Seakamela and Casey Moyo, and her grandmother is Zindzi Mandela, the former president's daughter.

This follows Mankazana's son's involvement in the car crash last month that claimed the life of Madiba's great-granddaughter, who was also called Zenani. Mankazana is the father of Sizwe, who was driving the car which crashed in the early hours of June 11 killing year-old Zenani.

The teenager is the daughter of Zoleka Seakamela, whose mother is Zindzi Mandela, Madiba's other daughter by his marriage to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Apparently Zindzi is so angry that she has barred Mankazana, a regular visitor since his relationship with Zenani, and his son from the family home. The Sunday Times has been told that father and son had been ordered off three weeks ago and told to stay away until Sizwe's case on charges of culpable homicide and drunk driving is finalised.

She had turned 13 two days earlier. Zindzi is apparently angry that Mankazana paid Sizwe's bail without discussing it with the Mandela family. A close friend said Zindzi had wanted to know what happened that night and how her granddaughter died first.

A relative of the Mandelas, who was also at the house, said Zindzi told her mother that she would leave the house if he did not. Subscribe Sign in.
