Speaking to CNN's Robyn Curnow - the only international journalist to broadcast live from Nelson Mandela's funeral - Maki asserted that while his medical team treated him with dignity and respect, his death came as a relief after the agonising struggle his health had faced.

"There were times I was telling the doctors I think enough is enough," she said. "As doctors they had their duty to try everything up to the last moment, but for me as a daughter it was excruciating watching that."

Maki also talked about plans for the family to open Mandela's grave to visitors in a year or so, with plans in place for a visitors' centre and memorial garden, where tourists will be able to walk around the grave and see it from a viewing point.
