Nelson Mandela left an estate valued at more than 46 million rand ($4.13m; £2.53m), a public reading of his will has revealed.
Executor Justice Dikgang Moseneke, summarising what he said was a 40-page document, said he was “not aware of any contest” to the will.
Close personal staff each get 50,000 rand. Schools the former South African president attended are due to receive 100,000 rand.
Mandela died in December, aged 95.
He left behind an estate that includes an upmarket house in Johannesburg, a modest dwelling in his rural Eastern Cape home province and royalties from book sales, including his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.
He also left 100,000 rand to each of four other educational institutions, for bursaries and scholarships.
The mood of the Mandela family when the will was read was “charged with emotions but it went well,” said the executor, who added that the Mandela family were “well pleased” by his will.
The family trust will receive 1.5m rand, plus royalties.
The ANC will also receive some royalties, to be used at the discretion of the party’s executive committee, to spread information about the principles and policies of the ANC, particularly about reconciliation.
There is a 90-day period in which the will can be contested. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

In Nigerian Naira @ the exchange rate of N160/$ it will be N660.8m. IBB,OBJ and GEJ, what are your net worth right now? Forget about late Abacha and Yaradua for now. Also discountenance the worth of their Ministers, Governors, present or past, House leaders, Civil Servants etc. The difference should be clear and yet they will all go one after the other.
ReplyDeleteI hope Nigerian leaders - past, present and aspiring ones are reading this. Lesson to you guys.
