Epitaph on Zenani


                         Here lies Zenani among the first rains.
                         May her spring, thoughts and hands enrich our brains.


                                                                                     June 15, 2010

(Zoleka Mandela's daughter, Zenani died at the age of 13, in a car accident in 2010. Zenani died two days after her birthday, in a car accident, while on her way home from the World Cup concert in Soweto.)
