The Johannesburg tabloid The Times reported yesterday that locks at Nelson Mandela's home in the Eastern Cape hamlet were changed shortly after his eldest daughter, Makaziwe Mandela, arrived on Thursday.
At the time, Mandla Mandela was keeping vigil next to his grandfather's coffin while the anti-apartheid hero's body lay in state at the Union Buildings in Pretoria for three days. He escorted the coffin to Qunu on Saturday for Mandela's funeral the following day.
