Global icon Nelson Mandela’s grandson Mandla Mandela and his wife Nosekeni Rabia welcomed twins on Sunday ahead of the Global Citizen concert aimed at honouring the former president.
In a short statement released on Friday, the two said they were “overjoyed by our new bundle of joy”.
“Mandela is now a big brother, and Mvezo Komkhulu is about to hear the pitter-patter of little feet again. Our family is growing by 20 more fingers and 20 more toes. The Royal House of Mandela is truly grateful for these blessings, Alhamdulillah. Jummah Mubarak!”
