As Nelson Mandela fights for his life it almost seems like his family is fighting to see who can get more attention. Nelson Mandela's grandson accused his brother of fathering a child with his ex wife during an illicit affair. While no one knows if this is true or not, I would venture to say it's not really the time to make claims of that nature. The Mandela family is not just a public family but it's the family of a figure that stands out for landmark achievements. For someone to go ahead and start a family feud during this period is an act of ignorance. I understand that Mandela's grandson is angered but still, is this the right time?
Chances are Mandela will not last much longer and it would be a shame if this is the last thing remembered as one of the world's great leaders fades away. The legacy of Nelson Mandela needs to be respected and not tarnished, let alone by his own family. I hope his grandson tries to put this soap opera aside for the time being and shows his grandfather's legacy the proper respect that it deserves.
