'Being Mandela:' Granddaughters dish on show
Posted: 02/08/2013
NEW YORK - The newest reality television show is in some ways like any other: mother and daughters, sibling rivalry, family gossip and talk of Big Grandpa, who is very strict but loves it when his great-grandchildren are around making a racket.
But that's where the twist comes in: Big Grandpa is Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid legend.
"Being Mandela," premiers Sunday on COZI TV, and follows the lives of Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini.
They are the fashionable, 30-something granddaughters of Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
The 94-year-old former South African president, who recently was treated for a lung infection and had surgery to remove gallstones, does not appear in the series.
But his controversial ex-wife does -- and by all accounts relishes it.
