JOHANNESBURG — Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter was killed in a car crash on the way home from a concert in Soweto on the eve of the World Cup, his office said Friday.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation said Zenani Mandela died in a one-car accident after attending the World Cup kickoff concert at the Orlando Stadium.
The foundation said later Mandela would not attend Friday's World Cup opening ceremony in Johannesburg, dashing South Africans' hopes the frail 91-year-old former president would make a rare appearance. Mandela was "torn up" by the accident, the foundation added.
