Nelson Mandela’s granddaughters are set to star in a reality television programme called Being Mandela.
Swati Dlamini and Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway say they have the former South African president’s blessing.
The 13-episode series, already filmed, follows the two women as they try to promote the family’s legacy while juggling motherhood in Johannesburg.
In interviews this week, they said their 94-year-old grandfather was doing well following his recent health scare.
They said he is “happy and healthy”, and produced a photograph taken at the start of the month in which Mr Mandela holds his youngest great-grandchild – Zaziwe’s one-year-old son – on his lap.
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning leader of the fight against white minority rule spent almost three weeks in hospital in December undergoing treatment for a lung infection and gallstones.
