      Mandla mandela

      What comes to your mind at the thought of the name Zenani Mandela if not her association with the legendary Nelson Mandela? The latter, popularly known as the princess is the first daughter of the first president of South Africa. There is so much about her that will determine whether she has filled in her father's gap or not. She is one of the children of the first president of South Africa who did not have it smooth growing up. She was almost born in prison and even though she was lucky to overcome that, she still had to grow up without her father in her life for the better part of her childhood.
