Nelson Mandela, the 91-year-old former president of South Africa, has missed the opening of the World Cup in his country because of the tragic death of his great-granddaughter. Zenani Mandela, who just turned 13, died in a single car-collision Thursday night. An unnamed driver, who police say was drunk, has been arrested in connection with the accident and may face homicide charges.
