Mandela shares R22m with his former employees, schools
27 May 2016
Johannesburg - A total of R22 million of former president and struggle icon Nelson Mandela's estate has been distributed to beneficiaries he had listed in his will.
Among the list of 40 beneficiaries were his long-time driver, three members of his staff at his private home, as well as all the high schools and universities he attended while growing up.
At the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Houghton, north of Johannesburg on Friday morning, retired Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke and advocate George Bizos said they had acted in accordance with what Mandela had requested.
"We have come to the end of our task, we have done as he asked. The will is insolvent," Moseneke told reporters, Mandela's family as well as the recipients who were present.
