NELSON Mandela’s daughters are suing him for the rights to his artworks and control of his millions, it has been reported.
According to the Star on Monday, Zenani and Makaziwe Mandela intended
fighting an order of Johannesburg High Court in April 2004, which gave
Mandela the right to instruct Ismail Ayob, his then lawyer, to stop
managing his financial, personal and legal affairs.
The order also barred Ayob from selling any of Mandela’s artworks.
The Star reported that Mandela’s current lawyer, Bally Chuene, filed
an affidavit last week, in response to a lawsuit brought by the sisters,
represented by Ayob.
Last month, the sisters filed papers asking for Chuene, George Bizos
SC and Human Settlements Minister, Tokyo Sexwale, to remove themselves
as directors and trustees of the Mandela Trust and as directors of
Harmonieux and Magnifique (Pty) Ltd with immediate effect.
In his replying affidavit, Chuene reportedly said he, Bizos and
Sexwale had, in 2011, refused to release the trust’s money to the
daughters without a legal justification.
The Star reported that Chuene was adamant Ayob was behind the court action by the women.
