Mandela family at court to support rape accused grandson
The court room at the Johannesburg Regional Court was packed on Friday morning where a 24-year old grandson of former president Nelson Mandela is expected to appear on a charge of rape.
He is accused of allegedly raping a 15-year old girl at a popular restaurant in Johannesburg two weeks ago.
The man made his first court appearance a week ago and has since been held in custody, but was expected to apply for bail on Friday.
Makaziwe, Ndileka and Ndaba Mandela were sitting at the front of the court where they were joined by a bodyguard.
