Mandela finally in Denmark

Zindzi, the new South African ambassador, is the daughter of Nelson and Winnie Mandela

Zindzi Mandela, the daughter of Nelson and Winnie Mandela, has finally taken residence in Denmark as the South African ambassador.

She was officially confirmed in late March, but her arrival here had been delayed.

South African media reported Mandela’s appointment as a done deal in October last year, but nothing was officially confirmed.

Zindzi, 53, is one of six children fathered by the late Nelson Mandela. She is the younger of two daughters he had with his second wife, Winnie.
