South African anti-apartheid activists Nelson and Winnie Mandela’s daughter Zindzi Mandela, has died at the age of 59. South African Broadcasting Corporation announced that Mandela had died early Monday morning in a Johannesburg hospital.
She was the Ambassador of South Africa to Denmark at the time of her death. The daughter of the Mandelas came to a significant international presence in 1985 when, in denunciation of the brutality committed by her movement Africa National Congress, the oppressive regime of South African race discrimination, the white-minority government agreed to free Nelson Mandela from prison. Zindzi Mandela read his letter denying the bid at a packed, worldwide public event.
She had one of the most prominent moments in 1985 when she read a letter in which her father rejected the release offer from then-Apartheid president P.W. Botha, facing a huge crowd of supporters from ANC at a stadium.
