Zindzi Mandela was laid to rest at a private funeral, She
was buried next to her mother -- who died two years ago -- at a cemetery in
Fourways.
Her family said she had tested positive for coronavirus on
the day she died (on Monday), but they were still awaiting post-mortem results.
In a eulogy at a virtual memorial on Thursday, President
Cyril Ramaphosa thanked the Mandela family for "the very important gesture
of sharing this information with the nation".
"In doing so you are helping to encourage social
acceptance for sufferers. This is a virus that affects us all, and there should
never be any stigma around people who become infected," said Ramaphosa.
