South Africans will get a closer look at the life of the Mandela family in a new reality show soon to be broadcast, the family has announced.
The show would focus on the lives of three of former president Nelson Mandela's grandchildren, producer Rick Leed told reporters in Johannesburg on Thursday.
The three - Dorothy Adjoa Amuah, Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and her younger sister Swati Dlamini - grew up in the US but had returned to South Africa for business and family reasons.
"This is about three women... breaking away from the [Mandela] legacy to find their own feet," said director Graeme Swanepoel.
The as-yet-unnamed show would probably be flighted early in 2012.
