raped her inside one of the toilets,” he said. He said the girl lives with her [Mom] but after the news reached the family, the father tried to open a case with no success.

He said Winnie Madikizela-Mandela asked the girl’s family to give her family time to deal with the issue. “Instead, Winnie’s bodyguard went to the family pretending to be a cop. The father was told there was no need to arrest the suspect but when the father asked to see his badge, he didn’t have one. It turned out he had been sent by Winnie,” he said.

Sunday Sun reported yesterday that after a meeting at her home in Soweto, Madikizela-Mandela promised to hand her grandson to the police. She also said she would call a press briefing. However, none of that happened.

The family spokesman said the girl’s family was angered by the way they were treated by the police and the Mandelas. “Just because they have a famous surname, they think they can get away with crime,” he said. “Children can’t just be raped and then everything is alright. The girl is young and doesn’t even drink,” he said.

This is sad on several levels- The first being that if this is proven to be fact, we feel extremely sad for the 15 year old girl who had to endure this horrific experience; The second reason is because again, if this allegation is a fact, then Nelson Mandela’s grandson has just contributed to tainting the legacy of his grandfather and their family’s name in one of the worst ways possible. Only time will tell if this is true or not, because as it stands right now NOTHING has been proven in the court of a law, nor through any form of DNA testing as far as we know. We’ll keep y’all updated on this.
