When Ndaba Mandela was 15, he went to a South African International Football Match with his grandfather Nelson. Their car entered the stadium and Ndaba jumped quickly, eager to meet some of the biggest sports stars in his country.

He remembers feeling a huge wave of anticipation on the part of the crowd, followed by a sound that could be translated as: "Oh man, who is this guy?"

Two decades later, Ndaba is determined not to disappoint people anymore. Many South African political experts already call him "the new Mandela" and predict that he too will take up the post of president one day.

He is currently an NGO worker and a motivational speaker; he does not deny these long-term ambitions but readily admits that his iconic parent would be the ultimate hard act to follow.
