The Zenani Mandela Road Safety Scholarship was launched this week to focus on road safety, in memory of Nelson Mandela's great-granddaughter, who was tragically killed in a car crash last year.

Launching the Zenani Mandela Road Safety Scholarship, Zoleka Mandela said, “A crash robbed me of my daughter, a beautiful, bright 13-year-old who was full of energy and hope for the future.

“I will never recover from this, nor will my family. Parents and families should not have to be put through tragedies like this. All too often they are. My heart is already broken, but what makes this even worse is that so often road accidents are preventable.

“We must all support the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety – our children’s lives are at stake."
