While Nelson Mandela is fighting for his life in a Pretoria hospital, members of his family are fighting each other, in a feud which is being played out in lurid details in the local media.
Several family members have taken his eldest grandson, Mandla, to court in a bid to exhume three of the former president's children, so they can be reburied in the family graveyard in Qunu, where Mr Mandela wants to be laid to rest.
