Nelson Mandela’s Grandson Expecting First Child with His Fourth Wife

Mandla Mandela, the oldest grandson of the late Nelson Mandela, is expecting his first child with his wife, Rabia Clarke. Mandla, took to Instagram to release a statement announcing the joyful news. Read below:

“We @rabiaclarke are exited beyond words today to be celebrating not only our first wedding anniversary but also the fact that we are expecting our first bundle of joy (in transit ????????????????????????????????).

Mvezo Komkhulu will once again experience the pitter patter of a young Mandela’s feet. It’s been an amazing year. We are truly blessed, and very grateful for all the well wishes received.”

The pair tied the knot in February 2016. This is the fourth marriage for Mandela. He is still legally married to his first wife‚ Tando Mabunu–Mandela‚ although they are estranged and embroiled in bitter court battles.

Mandela’s second and third marriages were annulled.
