Mandela Children Reburied After Court Order

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 04 Juli 2013 | 23.31

The remains of Nelson Mandela's three deceased children have been reburied at their original resting site two years after a grandson moved the bodies.

Family members and community elders attended a ceremony on the Mandela property that included the singing of hymns.

The reburial took place in Qunu, Mr Mandela's hometown and the place the former president has said he wants to be buried.

Forensic tests earlier confirmed the remains were those of Mr Mandela's children.

Grandson Mandla Mandela moved the bodies to his village of Mvezo - Nelson Mandela's birthplace - in 2011. The two towns are about 15 miles apart.

Fifteen Mandela family members pursued court action last week to force the grandson to again move the bodies.

Mandla Mandela - the oldest male Mandela heir and a tribal chief - told a news conference that "my grandfather like myself would be highly disappointed in what is unravelling".

The bitter family feud comes as Mr Mandela remains in a critical condition nearly a month after being taken to hospital for a recurring lung infection.

In legal documents filed as part of the court battle, members of the Mandela family said medics advised switching off the revered leader's life support as he was in a "persistent vegetative state".

Mr Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years during white racist rule in South Africa and was freed in 1990 before being elected president in all-race elections.
