Zoleka Mandela looking for a rich man on Tinder
"Terminally ill, single mother of 6, looking for a rich man (with affiliations to the ANC) to look after her before she dies".
Zoleka Mandela is ready to find new love.
The 42-year-old is looking for a rich man to take care of her before she dies - and she is trusting Tinder to help her make her wish a reality.
The two-time cancer survivor took to Instagram to share a conversation that transpired between her and her son, Zwelami.
Posting a screenshot of the 'create an account' page on the Tinder, Zoleka, who is the granddaughter of Winnie and Nelson Mandela, revealed that she downloaded the dating app on Wednesday, hoping to find new love.
But her son is not pleased with his mom turning to the internet to find love.

In their conversation, Zwelani tried to talk his mother out of the dating app, telling her to delete it.
This is when Zoleka asked him: “How am I going to find the RICH man to take care of me before I die?”.
The youngster reckons his mom will find the right man at ANC events.
See their conversation below which Zoleka shared on IG.
"Zoleka: Baby, look what I downloaded today.
Zwelami: Delete that thing!
Zoleka: But how am I going to find the RICH man to take care of me before I die?
Zwelami: That thing is just like Only Fans.
Zoleka: But you told me not to do Only Fans and I won’t but I’m going to do Tinder, it’s just that even if I put my details, they’ll think they’re being catfished.
Zwelami: True. Mom, you need to go to those ANC events, that’s where the rich men are! "
The author and mental health advocate promised to share her experiences on Twitter with her followers.
“My life is a movie, for more TEA on my prospective dates with money oriented males, please stay tuned!!! So what does someone like me enter for their details on Tinder? Terminally ill, single mother of 6, looking for a rich man (with affiliations to the ANC) to look after her before she dies? I’m asking for a friend? 😂 #TerminallyFree,” she wrote.
In August, Zoleka revealed that she has cancer in her bones which cannot be cured.
"I have Bone Metastasis. I’ve just had my CT scan and awaiting my results, I don’t even have the words to articulate my thoughts and feelings, the words to describe how scared I am right now. What do I tell my children? How do I tell them that this time around, I may not get to live my life as a survivor? How do I tell them everything will be okay when it’s not? I’m dying … I don’t want to die," she wrote on Instagram.
