Football fans from around the world have poured into South Africa for the World Cup. But the celebrations have been marked by tragedy: the death of Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter.
Zenani Mandela was killed early on Friday when her car overturned on a Johannesburg highway after South Africa's World Cup concert.
The former President has decided against attending the opening ceremony.
The driver of the vehicle has been arrested as police investigate charges of culpable homicide, police spokeswoman Colonel Noxolo Kweza said.
"There was only one car involved and no one else was injured," The Mandela Foundation said in a statement.
