Papa, 10 years ago your dance ended on this earth,” she wrote, posting a picture of her dancing with Mandela on what appeared to be her wedding day.

 “The positive impact of your presence on this universe still reverberates on. I will keep on dancing with your spirit until we meet again. I miss you. Mum misses you. Ziga and Zanji miss you. We all miss you. Love you 4ever (sic),” she wrote.
