Nelson Mandela denies Winnie Mandela of properties,leaves half of his $4.1m estate to 3rd wife
The former South African president has divided up his £2.5million estate between family members, staff and the ruling African National Congress.
However, he has chosen to give nothing to Ms Madikizela-Mandela – his second wife, with whom he had two daughters, Zenani and Zindziswa. Meanwhile, his third wife, Graca Machel, has been named as the main beneficiary of the will because their marriage was ‘in community of property’, according to executor, Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke.
She is therefore entitled to 50 per cent of his estate, which has been provisionally valued at 46 million rand (£2.5million), excluding royalties.But it is believed to have been accepted by his family with no contest so far.
As the main beneficiary, Ms Machel must claim her half of the estate within 90 days, said Moseneke, who was joined by executors George Bizos, a human rights lawyer who was a longtime friend of Mandela, and Themba Sangoni, a chief judge from the Eastern Cape province.
He added that although Madikizela-Mandela was not mentioned in the will, her grandchildren will each receive $9,000 (£5,500).
Full details of the will
Wife Graca Machel, who is entitled to 50 percent of his estate, worth at least $4.1 million. She is likely to waive that right in favour of receiving four properties in Mozambique, cars, art work, jewellery and other assets.
-Mandela’s children each get around $300,000, or if they borrowed that amount from him during his lifetime, have their debts annulled.
-Ms Machel’s children, Josina Machel and Malengane Machel, each get around $270,000.
-Mandela’s four grandchildren via late son Makgatho will each receive $300,000 and will have the use of his home in Houghton, Johannesburg.
-The African National Congress (ANC), gets between 10 to 30 percent of royalties from his various projects.
-Mandela’s home in his boyhood village of Qunu will be made available to the Mandela family, as well as widow Ms Machel and her two children.=Grandchildren from his first marriage to Evelyn Mase and second marriage to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela each get $9,000. It was not immediately clear if anything had been bequeathed to Winnie.
-Staff members, including long time personal assistance Zelda la Grange, get $4,500 each.
-Schools and universities he attended and shaped his political life were each granted $9,000.

Diddy put ring On Cassie finger, his longtime girlfriend
You may not be able to see it that well in this particular photo, but Cassie is definitely flossin’ a new piece of bling on her ring finger. This past weekend, Diddy posted a photo of a nice, heavy, iced out ring with the caption:
Baby do you like it? I just want to get you wat you Like ! I just wanna Mk you smile :) #takeDat
A day later, Cassie was spotted wearing the new ring in a photo posted by Keyshia Cole, as well as one of her own. She also confirmed that Diddy gave her the ring when she commented under his photo:
I’m definitely smiling! It’s perfect!Puff obviously put a ring on it, but the bigger question is, “Did he propose this weekend?”Let us find out!
Catch the pics below:
Just last October, Diddy told the ladies of “The View” that love and happiness were more important than marriage, but he wasn’t ruling out jumping the broom just yet.
I think a lot of people put too much on marriage and not enough on happiness.[...] I’m happy, anybody that is in my life is happy. I just want to be happy and I think it’s important for you to protect your happiness and to love yourself, because then you can love other people the right way.
It definitely would be a dream come true for me to just one day be ready for that.[...]I’m not really looking because I know the responsibility that comes with that and I think that a lot of people, they jump into that and they’re not honest with themselves. I’m brutally honest with myself. I don’t want to get married and not make that woman be the best. I’ve been close to it and when I’m ready I’ll make the announcement, but when I do it, I’m doing it forever.
Is Diddy ready for forever?
Congratulations to the happy couple!
