Mandela children remains exhumed
THE remains of three of Nelson Mandela's children have been exhumed to be returned to his childhood village following a bitter family feud over the ailing anti-apartheid hero's final resting place. A bitter family feud has led to the exhumation of the remains of three of Nelson Mandela's children. The public row comes as the 94-year-old former political prisoner, who became South Africa's first black president, lies critically ill in what is now his fourth week in hospital. In dramatic scenes that unfolded in front of the world's media, a sheriff forced open the gates to the estate of Mandela's grandson Mandla with a pickaxe to allow three hearses to enter the property, where the disputed remains were moved in 2011, allegedly without the family's consent.
