The Fifa 2010 opening was supposed to be a day of great rejoicing for Nelson Mendela to see his nation host the Fifa World Cup. But the moment turned to grief when he learned of his great grand daughters death in a tragic car accident just on the eve of the opening day.
The former president was expected at the opening match between South Africa and Mexico to celebrate his country’s triumph of hosting the World Cup on the African continent for the first time ever. Instead, the 91 year old Mr Mendela spent the evening in mourning on the death of his 13 year old great grand daughter Zenani Mandela which occurred in a fatal one car accident while on her way back home from a concert.
According to the police, the male driver was drunk while driving and was charged accordingly. He may also be charged for homicide.
