Mandela feud continues as relatives lock grandson out

A continuing feud in the Mandela family, which has made headlines in the past year, has taken another turn with a report that Mandla Mandela was locked out of the family’s homestead by relatives four days before his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, was buried there.

Mandla is also reported to have found his home on the Mandela estate without electricity and water on the day of his grandfather’s burial.

The Johannesburg Times reported that locks at Nelson Mandela’s home in the Eastern Cape hamlet of Qunu were changed shortly after his eldest daughter, Makaziwe Mandela, arrived there last week.
