Pule Mabe, the spokesman for the governing African National Congress, described her death as “untimely”. “She still had a role to play in the transformation of our own society and a bigger role to play even in the African National Congress,”

Educated in South Africa and Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Zindzi Mandela spent many years involved in South Africa’s freedom struggle and embraced roles in the arts, philanthropy and business.

She rose to international prominence when she read out her father’s rejection of then-President PW Botha’s offer for freedom in 1985.
