Mandela grandson faces assault charges -S.Africa prosecutors

South Africa will charge one of Nelson Mandela's grandsons with assault and brandishing a gun at another man, a prosecutor's official said on Sunday, in a further embarrassment for the anti-apartheid hero's large and fractious family. Mandla Mandela is due to appear in court on Friday, Luxolo Tyali, a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority, told Reuters. South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper said the younger Mandela was reported to have drawn a gun on a 44-year-old teacher whose vehicle had collided with one driven by a guest of Mandla Mandela's. The teacher later had to undergo emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain, the newspaper said. Tyali spelled out the charges facing Mandla Mandela but declined to give details of the incident.
