Mark Gevisser on a myth‑busting look at Mandela's personal life
There could not be a more poignant moment for the release of a book about Nelson Mandela's personal life, and the complex interplay of political imperatives and family commitments that have bedevilled it. On the eve of the World Cup that he was to preside over as his final glorious public act, Mandela's great-granddaughter was killed in a car accident; the driver, a member of the extended Mandela family (although not related by blood), has been accused of being drunk. Young Mandela is the backstory.
