The recommended price is 5, 49 euros. As family, we always wanted to tell the story of the House of Mandela. It is not just about my father, but also from where we came from, from our roots (…) When people see that « , she said in holding a bottle, « in their mind, they see Nelson Mandela. But it is not about Nelson Mandela, it is about the House of Mandela « , the family that came from kings Xhosas. We want to tell the story of people from whom we came; we want to pay tribute to our ancestors, they who gave us a lot. »
