Prosecutors had charged Mandla Mandela with assault and brandishing a gun at another man. South African media said at the time the younger Mandela was reported to have drawn a gun on a 44-year-old teacher whose vehicle had collided with one driven by a guest of Mandla Mandela’s, The teacher later had to undergo emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain.
Mandla Mandela made headlines earlier in 2013 when a judge ordered him to return the remains of three of Nelson Mandela’s children – including those of his father – from a memorial centre dedicated to his grandfather where he had moved them two years before.
Mandla had been sued by more than a dozen of Mandela’s relatives who wanted the remains returned.
