"Even though she was the daughter of one of our iconic leaders, Nelson Mandela, she was a leader in her own right. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema who is a close family member also graced the ceremony. When they threatened to fire her, I was like you can't threaten Zindzi Mandela," he said. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa sent their condolences to the Mandela family ahead of her burial.
