As the details of the former president's last will and testament were made public today, many were surprised by who was acknowledged and who was not
Reading Mandela’s will on Monday, Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke said the estate was worth R46 million.
According to the document, former President Nelson Mandela’s wife Graça Machel will take ownership of the four properties the couple jointly owned in Mozambique, three of which are in Maputo and a fourth in Chilembene.
It was confirmed today that Machel and Mandela were married in community of property, which entitles her to 50% of her late husband’s estate.
“She may opt to have exactly half of the estate. It’s an election that needs to happen in 90 days… that’s still pending,” Moseneke said. He said Machel had not yet given her decision on this yet.
The widow will also keep the couple’s vehicles, the jewellery she received during the marriage and all money in their bank accounts and that invested with financial institutions.
Mandela’s Houghton home was bequeathed to a family trust, however Machel is allowed to take art and artefacts from the residence.
Josina and Malengani Machel, the children from Graça’s marriage to the late Mozambican president Samora Machel will each receive R3 million.
Madiba also left R100 000 each to Samora Machel’s six children born from a previous marriage. The six are Joselina, Samora Junior, Manthyane, Atwane, Turila, and Olivia Machel.
Mandela also gave his late son Makgato Mandela R3,3 million and his daughter Makaziwe Mandela R3,3 million in advance of his death.
His grandchildren from the first wife Evelyn Mase, Mandla, Ndaba, Mbuso and Andile Mandela will each receive R3,3 million. However, Mandla and Ndaba’s inheritance is apparently held in the Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela trust.
Mandela’s second wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, was not mentioned in the will, but the children of this union, Zindzi and Zenani received R3, 3 million each and their children each got R100 000.
Mandela left R50 000 to each of his nine personal employees, including his former personal assistant Zelda La Grange and his cook Xoliswa Ndoyiya.
Mandela also left money to a number of educational institutions, which include Qunu High School, the University of the Witwatersrand and Fort Hare University — which all received a sum of R100 000.
He also left R100 000 to Orlando West High School for its contribution to the liberation of the country.
