@ Idohl

He's the son of Makgato Mandela, who was the child between Nelson mandela and Evelyn his first wife, which in effect makes him the direct heir and a rightful name carrier of Mandela.

you guys are just bunch of haters, this man wants to develop his village and just few faimilies who are crasy they claim that its their grave (who was burried there & when). as for the palour it was used to carry the bones to the lab (or u cant put bones in ur car).
Yes a cattle can be burried when it died of a dangerous desease (kwa xhosa we dont just eat anything, we eat healthy food).
if they claim that the bones belong to their family, they must tell who was burried there & when and why was he/she burried in an open space coz there are demacated cemetries or in ur home.

The remains have since been sent to a mortuary by the health department for safekeeping.
******************************************************************************************
If they are animal remains then why are they kept for safekeeping

What is wrong with this Mandla........... death really fascinates him......... if he is not planning the "grandfare" for his grandpa's deparuture he is meddling with other people's resting places............. Just a useless, corrupt, power hungry imbicile

I said it Buyelekhaya and Mandla bully and harrass people under the impression that they are chiefs kings and headman. Mandla is a lazy boy, he must go and work he is too young for all this, heehheeehhheee kusezilalini phaya.
Before you exhume bone or body are we not suppose to get the court order or permission to disecrate the grave? there you are he is doing ukuthanda kwakhe phaya. These are the things that are going to drive people away from ANC.
Mandla undermine people of Qunu and Mvezo. Who is his mother? AbaThembu abawangcwabi amathambo emfuyo, he is coming again with his chicken psychology, yhey it is embarrassing us when such people undermine abantu base makhaya.

Qunu and Mvezo people must now go and report this to tatomkhulu Mandela, and I am sure he does not know.

That is a grave, it is marked. Human bones do not even look like cow bones. If those are cow bones then why did he call a hearse to fetch them earlier this month?” Diniso questioned

--------------------------------------------------

Good question!!
Don't expect an HONEST answer though - big cover up and disrespect for the family of the deceased!

In the words of Peter Griffin... "OMG, WHO THE HELL CARES!". Besides, he's nothing of his grandfather. Therefore, he shouldn't be link to him as such. Let's treat him for who he is - buffoon.

@bizoro
U seem to know this man (Mandla Mandela) very well, is possible that people could be driven by jealousy over Mandla. I don’t support many things that Mandela does but sometimes media is unfair on him, like the issue of that wife refusing him to marry other wives.
First question.
But tell me, Mandla’s father Makgatho was the second son to Mandela, firstborn was Thembi. In African culture an heir apparent is firstborn. Why then would the son of a second born be installed as a Chief?
Second question
Rolihlahla’s mother was the junior wife, both in royal rank and in marriage rank. In his own admission Rolihlahla stated in his book (Long Walk to freedom) that he was the youngest son from his father but the eldest child from his mother.
How did rolihlahla’s family walk away with Chieftancy?
