Mbuso Mandela, a man identified as one of
Nelson Mandela's grandsons, has been arrested for allegedly raping a
15-year-old girl, said South African police. Mbuso Mandela, 24, is in police custody and will
appear in a Johannesburg magistrates court on Friday for a bail hearing, said
police spokeswoman Brig. Mashadi Selepe. He appeared briefly in court on Monday
when he was charged with rape.
Media report continues:
The rape allegedly
took place at a restaurant in Greenside, a Johannesburg suburb, on August 7,
Selepe said.
The matter was
reported to police a week later and Mandela was arrested last Saturday, she
said.
Mbuso Mandela is one
of late statesman Nelson Mandela's 17 grandchildren. Mandela died in 2013 at
the age of 95.
