Mandela left Winnie nothing! it seems the guy could keep a grudge ad infinitum.

Its not a grudge, they had divorced..


Do you expect you ex-employer to pay your pension after you retire?

Why would she need to be given while their kids were accounted for in the will.She may have stood by him but not while ensuring her JKIA was not making losses.

Just as a good will gesture, the man was not rich - and so the will was more of a gesture.

“Media reports that my mother was left out of the will are mischievous and sensationalist. She never attended the reading of the will as she didn’t regard herself as a beneficiary. Why would she expect to be maintained after his passing when she was never maintained during his lifetime? Mama will continue to mourn my father according to traditional protocols whilst holding Mama Graça’s hand throughout this difficult period… Irrespective: no amount of speculation will define the love that is shared by our family even when we disagree on issues from time to time.” Zindzi Mandela

Mandela’s will was read out to his relatives and the media in Jo'burg on Monday. His children, with both Evelyn Mase and Winnie, had R3 million bequeathed to each of them, but had already been given that money in advance and therefore received nothing. Btw Graca's children born from her previous marriage to Samora Machel pia wamepewa kitu. Anyway his estate wasn't really that valuable given his stature in society he didn't care much about material possessions.

Upon divorce they shared whatever they had and she got her potion.So she did not expect anything.

ION,@Intelligentsia let us be real.

Mandela was jailed for life.......were Winnies sexual needs supposed to be jailed with him.That he came back after 27 years was by Gods grace otherwise he was meant to die there.

When he came out his systems were messed up so could not satisfy her needs.What was she to do??

Even that Graca was there for fame only and maybe some gold digging........

And I agree with whoever said he is not the good man people think he was.

Exactly. When you divorce your wife, why else should she appear in your will??

@Bigchick I can't believe your argument that once Mandela was locked up, Winnie was supposed to start sambazaing her airport since her sexual desires were not locked up.
I guess you are the same type of women when your jamaa goes abroad for 6 months you say that your sexual needs didnt fly out of the country with him and kabbom! planes start landing and when he comes back and kicks you out you go wailing ooh watoto ooh sijui nini!"
Now you argue that Winnie was supposed to be included in the will and yet she was already divorced and was/is chewing her alimony.....comeon, this entiltlement thing with women is just unbelievable.

He was tormented alright, but Mandela did not loosen his grip on Winnie...

kwani yeye mandela alikuwa mzuri sana? anyway it is/was his right to determine who benefited from what. but for some reason, i think a woman who was married to you for 38 years and was robbed from you for 32 deserved something (not that she is begging).
