Police smashed padlocks with a pickaxe and forced their way into the Mveso compound in the Eastern Cape to retrieve the buried remains of three of Nelson Mandela's children.

A trio of hearses pulled into the site belonging to the former president's grandson, Mandla Mandela, and left with the bodies a short time later. The police action followed a court ruling that the remains must be returned to their original burial site in Qunu. - The Independent
