Peter Hain, the former Welsh Secretary and anti-apartheid campaigner, has warned FIFA not to treat Nelson Mandela like "a modern rock star".
The grandson of the former South African president has said his grandfather was coming under "extreme pressure" from the World Cup organisers to attend Sunday's final between the Netherlands and Spain.
Nelson Mandela having a African country hosting the world cup was his dream.
