Ahh, the good old "deny everything" approach. So ignore the photos of her meeting the interviewer Nadira Naipaul and her husband, Nobel laureate VS Naipaul during the interview. Sounds like a tough sell. Here's the original interview including the photograph.
The story took a new turn today when the 73-year-old rejected the inflammatory comments attributed to her.
"I did not give … an interview. It is therefore not necessary for me to respond in any detail to the contents of a fabricated interview," she said in a statement distributed by the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
"I will in the coming days deal with what I see as an inexplicable attempt to undermine the unity of my family, the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the high regard with which the name Mandela is held here and across the globe."
