Nelson Mandela's daughter & grand children caught in shoot-out

Seems like thie is a bad year for Mandela...a couple of months after his granddaughter Zenani Mandela died, his  daughter and grandchildren were caught up in a shoot-out between their bodyguard and attempted carjackers as they returned home from celebrating his 92nd birthday.

The family were at the automatic gates of 49-year-old Zindzi's home in the northern Johannesburg suburb of Athol when their car was stopped by two armed men,and they were ordered to get out of the car and lie on the ground but the gunmen were frightened away when one of their bodyguards opened fire.
Police have remained silent about what happened, only confirming the basic details four days later.
But apparently detectives have found the car used by the gunmen and are conducting forensic analysis of bullet casings left at the scene...
This is tough on the Old man... He's supposed to grow old in peace not in worry.
