According to SA publication Star newspaper, Nelson Mandela‘s daughters are suing him for the rights to his artworks and control of his millions.
A Monday May 20 report says Zenani and Makaziwe Mandela aim to fight an April 2004 Johannesburg High Court judgement ordering Mandela the right to instruct Ismail Ayob, his then lawyer, ‘to stop managing his financial, personal and legal affairs’.
It further says Mandela’s current lawyer Bally Chuene has filed a legal document, responding to a lawsuit brought by the Mandela daughters.
The daughters are now being represented by Ayob.
The sisters last month had 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.
