Mandela Suffering Was Painful To Watch~ Mandela’s Daughter:

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Nelson Mandela's daughter Maki
has talked about her father's suffering in the final months of his life.

Speaking to CNN's Robyn Curnow – the only international journalist to
broadcast live from Nelson Mandela's funeral – Maki asserted that
while his medical team treated him with dignity and respect, his death
came as a relief after the agonising struggle his health had faced.



"There were times I was telling the doctors I think enough is enough,"
she said. "As doctors they had their duty to try everything up to the
last moment, but for me as a daughter it was excruciating watching
that."

Maki also talked about plans for the family to open Mandela's grave to
visitors in a year or so, with plans in place for a visitors' center and
memorial garden, where tourists will be able to walk around the grave
and see it from a viewing point.
