Mandelas negotiate funeral TV deal

Mandelas negotiate funeral deal | IOL.co.za: "The Mandelas have apparently been negotiating a deal with American broadcaster CNN for Madiba’s eventual farewell, while Mandla Mandela is accusing the lawyers of some of his family members of lying about the state of his grandfather’s health.

All this while Nelson Mandela battles for his life in a Pretoria hospital where he has spent the past 29 days.

According to executives at the SABC, Makaziwe Mandela and her niece Ndileka, the daughter of Madiba’s late son Thembekile, held a sensitive meeting at the end of last month with a handful of officials from the public broadcaster, as well as a delegate from the Presidency."
