Cape Town – Grandson of the late former president Nelson Mandela, Mbuso Mandela, 30, was reportedly arrested on Wednesday after he was found with an unlicenced firearm and drugs.
According to City Press, the police raided Mbuso’s apartment in Morningside, Johannesburg after receiving a tip-off from his landlord who stopped the police during a routine patrol in the neighbourhood after complaints from other tenants.
Mbuso appeared in Alexandra Magistrates’ Court on Friday on charges of unlicenced firearm possession and drug possession.

Mbuso’s case has been rescheduled for June 29.
“Bailed my brother out this morning. Been telling him 4 years now to watch the company he keeps… Can’t do time for other people’s kak! Hope the penny really dropped this time,” wrote Ndaba in a tweet.
