Nelson Mandela's TV controller reveals: Tata loved watching Toddlers & Tiaras and National Geographic Channel.

One of Nelson Mandela caregivers - the one who controlled his TV remote - is finally revealing his best television programmes ... and it turns out Tata loved watching Toddlers & Tiaras and the National Geographic Channel.

A year after his passing, major Motshidisi Sehotsane from the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) told eNCA (DStv 403) what Madiba liked to watch most on TV.

Although there was nothing on the SABC that Nelson Mandela really enjoyed, he loved Toddlers & Tiaras on TLC Entertainment (DStv 172) and the National Geographic Channel (DStv 181).

"On National Geographic Channel he enjoyed those animals, I'm telling you. After that, if it became boring, I'd change to Toddlers & Tiaras. Yo. Tata used to love those kids," said Motshidisi Sehotsane.

"So Toddlers & Tiaras and National Geographic Channel used to be me and Tata's favourites."
