Graca Machel considers suing Mandela’s doctor over book detailing his last moments

The doctor was Mandela’s surgeon and headed his medical team.


Former president Nelson Mandela’s widow, Graca Machel, on Friday said she was taking legal advice on whether to sue her husband’s doctor for a book he wrote.

The book documents the global icon’s intimate moments just before his death in December 2013.

In a statement released by her foundation, Machel condemned the recently published book, Mandela’s Last Years, written by Vejay Ramlakan, in the strongest terms.

Machel said she believed the book was an assault on the trust and dignity of her late husband.
