The
grandson of Nelson Mandela was arrested at the weekend for allegedly raping a
15-year-old girl at a popular Johannesburg restaurant in Greenside last Friday,
according to a report.
Spokesperson
of the victim’s family while speaking to reporters said, the teen went to the
toilet when Mandela’s grandson, who can’t be named before he appears in court,
grabbed her and raped her inside one of the toilets.
Upon
learning of the alleged rape, the girl’s father attempted to open a criminal
case but was intimidated by Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s bodyguard. Madikizela-Mandela
apparently asked the girl’s family to give her family time to deal with the
issue.
“Instead,
Winnie’s bodyguard went to the family pretending to be a cop,” said the girl’s
family spokesperson.
“The father was told there was no need to
arrest the suspect but when the father asked to see his badge, he didn’t have
one. It turned out he had been sent by Winnie,”
“Just
because they have a famous surname, they think they can get away with crime,”
he said.
