Zoleka Mandela, the granddaughter of Nelson Mandela,
made a list before her death of those not allowed at her funeral and the
list has now been made public.
The list includes the name of
her ex-husband and father of two of her kids, Thierry Bashala. Bashala
had mourned her on Instagram after her death.
Zoleka
also listed some relatives who sexually abused her. She said those on
the list with a dot (.) against their names abused her sexually and are
not allowed near her dead body.
She added on the list that she is close to including her sisters, dad, and stepmom to the list.
Zoleka died on Sept. 25, 2023, after a long battle with cancer.
The South African author had survived cancer twice before it came back a third time and she passed at the age of 43.
She
was treated for breast cancer in 2011. It returned in 2016 and she beat
it again. Sadly, she announced in August 2022 that she had been
diagnosed with bone metastasis.
Via her Instagram account where
she documents her journey, she disclosed that the cancer had
metastasised to her bones and liver.
Sadly, she died earlier this week, leaving behind 4 children. The activist gave birth to 6 children but lost 2.
