<p>Prayers Up: It is with heavy hearts that we report on the passing of South Africa&#8217;s Ambassador to Denmark and daughter of Nelson Mandela, Zindzi Mandela.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/13/africa/zindzi-mandela-death-scli-intl/index.html">CNN</a>, Zindzi is the youngest daughter to Nelson and Winnie Mandela, and the department of International Relations is still gathering information about the cause of her death.</p>
<p>&#8220;Zindzi will not only be remembered as a daughter of our struggle heroes, Tata Nelson and Mama Winnie Mandela, but as a struggle heroine in her own right. She served South Africa well,&#8221; Naledi Pandor, Minister of International Relations said in a statement. The department also said the investigation into her death is still on going and a detailed statement will be released later.</p>
<p>According to a statement from the office of President Cyril Ramaphosa, Zindzi died early Monday morning at a Johannesburg hospital.</p>

<p>&#8220;I offer my deepest condolences to the Mandela family as we mourn the passing of a fearless political activist who was a leader in her own right,&#8221; Ramaphosa said in a statement. &#8220;Our sadness is compounded by this loss being visited upon us just days before the world marks the birthday of the great Nelson Mandela&#8221;</p>
<p>The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation also released a statement about Mandela&#8217;s death, saying she was &#8220;regarded by many as a child of the nation, and her death means &#8220;South Africa loses an important generation link connection our divided history to the promise of better, more inclusive, tomorrows.&#8221;</p>
