Zenani Mandela was Zoleka Mandela’s oldest child; she was born in 1997 but died in 2010 few days after her 13th birthday.
The young girl was returning from a World Cup concert in Soweto when she was hit by a car driven by a drunk motorist who was acquitted of all charges.

Soon after that, they started going out together, and in 2014, they got married. The two of Zoleka’s children, Zanyiwa Zenziwe Bashala and Zenzile Motuba Bashala, were born because of their relationship.
Zoleka and Thierry broke up after being together for eight years and being married for six. Zoleka said it took her two years to get the courage to leave a relationship that was no longer good for her.
