Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari (L) greets former South African President Nelson Mandela at his Houghton residence July 3, 2010. Mandela met Ghana's soccer team on Saturday following their defeat by Uruguay on penalties in the World Cup quarter-final. The Mandela Foundation said Ghana, the only African team to reach the last eight at this year's finals, had asked to meet Mandela to pass on their respects after his great-granddaughter Zenani Mandela, 13, died in a car crash last month.
