( CNN ) -- Legal strife plaguing the family of South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela may have cooled down a notch Tuesday , when charges that his grandson had tampered with the graves of Mandela 's deceased children were dropped . Prosecutors also dropped unrelated charges of bigamy against Mandla Mandela , the South Africa Press Agency reported . The grandson , whose full name is Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela , had admitted to reburying the remains of three of Nelson Mandela 's children , SAPA said , including those of his own father , in Nelson Mandela 's birthplace , the village of Mvezo , in 2011 . In July , 16 members of the Mandela family filed grave tampering charges against Mandla , and the remains were transferred to Nelson Mandela 's home in the town of Qunu . The bigamy charges were filed in 2011 , after Mandla Mandela married a woman against a court order in 2004 . The couple later filed for divorce . A prosecutors ' spokesman told SAPA that the office dropped both charges against Mandela 's grandson after determining that investigations had not produced enough evidence to allow for a trial .
