Zoleka Mandela, the granddaughter of the first post-apartheid president of South Africa Nelson Mandela, has died aged 43, the family has said.

A message on her Instagram page said Ms Mandela went to the hospital on 18 September for treatment for metastatic cancer, which was on her hip, liver, lung, pelvis, brain and spinal cord.

She was the daughter of diplomat Zindzi Mandela-Hlongwane, who was the daughter of Nelson and Winnie Mandela.

 

Last week Ms. Mandela posted a video of herself laying on a pillow, with a message saying she was “still treatable”, followed by: “I’m off to bed”.
