NELSON Mandela's eldest grandson has been found guilty of assault by a South African court.
MANDLA Mandela, who is a legislator for the ruling African National Congress (ANC), was on Tuesday found to have attacked teacher Mlamli Ngudle in a 2013 road rage incident in Mthatha in the south-west. Ngudle had allegedly bumped a parked vehicle belonging to one of Mandela's friends.
Some witnesses said Mandela threatened Ngudle with a gun. The court in Mthatha said the legislator was arrogant and evasive during his testimony.
A sentence is expected in June.
Mandla Mandela made headlines in 2013 when a judge ordered him to return the remains of his father and two other children of Nelson Mandela to Qunu, their ancestral home.
Mandla Mandela had moved them to a memorial centre in another location without consulting the family.
Nelson Mandela ruled South Africa as its first democratically elected president from 1994 to 1999.
He died in December 2013 at 95.
