Zenani Mandela’s Court interdict. Drama and tension have unfolded within the Mandela family following the recent decision by Zoleka Mandela’s aunt, Zenani, to block her burial at the Mandela family’s Fourways Memorial Park Cemetery.

Before her demise, Zoleka had expressed her desire to be buried next to her grandmother, Winnie Mandela, and her mother, Zindzi Mandela.
The family had initially planned to honor her wishes, preparing for her burial at the Fourways Memorial Park Cemetery.
However, Zenani intervened at the last moment, accompanied by law enforcement officers, preventing the burial and obtaining an interdict to halt the process.
Notably, Zenani was someone Zoleka had explicitly mentioned in her diary as someone she did not want present at her burial.
Despite this, Zenani appeared and obstructed Zoleka from realizing one of her final wishes.
The family is now grappling with internal discord and a notable divide, triggered by the decision to prevent Zoleka from being buried in her chosen location.
The public has also engaged in heated discussions over the unfolding family drama, emphasizing the emotional and controversial nature of the situation.
