- According to reports:
Former president Nelson Mandela's only surviving son Makgatho has sadly died earlier today, aged 54.
According to Cape Talk radio, Makgato had been in a critical condition at Gauteng’s Linksfield Clinic for the past few weeks. The reason for his illness was not announced, but his hospitalisation was reportedly unexpected. Mr Mandela had been spending time at his bedside, and had cancelled engagements to be with him.
"I did not know any member of my family would be suffering from Aids," Mandela told reporters in the garden of his home in Houghton, Johannesburg. Then he stressed that being open about HIV/Aids was the only way to stop people "regarding it as an extraordinary thing for which people go to hell and not to heaven". He said announcing such things maintained one's dignity and integrity and that denial would reflect badly on a family which had a member who died of Aids.
A memorial service will be held for Makgatho Mandela on Tuesday at a venue yet to be disclosed while his funeral will be held on Saturday next week at Qunu in the Eastern Cape.
