Mandela is survived by her four children and her husband.
Zindzi is best remembered for her defiance, which she retained throughout her life, most recently voicing her support for accelerated land reform.
Her first foray into the spotlight in her own right was when she read her jailed father's speech in Jabulani Stadium, Soweto, in February 1985, rejecting then-president PW Botha's conditional offer of freedom.

UDM leader Bantu Holomisa on Monday described her as a fighter who had fought from the early days of her life. Holomisa told TimesLIVE that Zindzi was very close to her late mother. “We will also remember her during the time when she was campaigning for [Nelson] Mandela to be released. She was vocal. My condolences to the family and her children and sisters.” Zindzi and her sister Zenani grew up in the forefront of the anti-apartheid struggle as their mother fought both the state and economic hardship as a single mother while their father was incarcerated.
