The activist allegedly revealed a list of people she wished not to be at her send-off, including the Mandela-Madikizela family members before she passed away. Zoleka Mandela's funeral was underway following two memorial ceremonies that were open to the public and media to pay their last respects.

In that list, 7de Laan's former actor Sekoati Tsubane was added to it and denied entry to his ex-lover's send-off. He was among the members of the Mandela-Madikizela family: Mandla Mandela, Zenani Mandela senior, Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela, and Zinhle Mandela.

The pair's romantic relationship was made known to the public in June 2011 after the tragic loss of their premature baby boy, Zenawe Zibuyile Mandela.
