Zindziswa "Zindzi" Mandela (23 December 1960 – 13 July 2020),[1] also known as Zindzi Mandela-Hlongwane, was a South African diplomat and poet, and the daughter of anti-apartheid activists and politicians Nelson Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Zindzi was the youngest and third of Nelson Mandela's three daughters, including sister Zenani Mandela.[2][3]
She had served as her country's ambassador to Denmark, until her death in 2020,[4] and was due to take up a post as ambassador to Liberia.[5] She served as a stand-in First Lady of South Africa from 1996[dubious – discuss] to 1998.[6]
Her collection of poems, Black As I Am, was published in 1978, with photographs by Peter Magubane.[7]
