Johannesburg -(PANA\/NAN) The late Nelson Mandela left behind an estate
\nvalued at more than 4.13 million dollars (about N660.8 million), an
\nofficial said in Johannesburg at the public reading of his will.<\/p>\n
The official, Dikgang Moseneke, is the South African Deputy Chief Justice,
\nand also the executor of the will.<\/p>\n
He said, while reading the will at a media briefing on Monday, that
\nMandela\u2019s estate includes a two-storey house in the upmarket Johannesburg
\nsuburb of Houghton, where he died in December.<\/p>\n
The will also includes a modest home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape, where
\nMandela was buried, and royalties from sales of his famous autobiography
\n\u201cLong Walk to Freedom\u201d.<\/p>\n
Moseneke said Mandela left 5,000 rand each to several of his personal
\nstaff members, including Zelda la Grange who nursed him for several years.<\/p>\n
The official said he also left 100,000 rand to each of four other
\neducational institutions for bursaries and scholarships.<\/p>\n
These include the Wits University, where he was educated in the 1950s, as
\nwell as Qunu Secondary School and Orlando West High School in Soweto.<\/p>\n
He said the family trust would receive 1.5 million rand, plus royalties,
\nwhile other beneficiaries listed in the will included his children,
\ngrandchildren and great grandchildren.<\/p>\n
Moseneke said the African National Congress (ANC) would also receive some
\nroyalties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is to be used at the discretion of the party\u2019s executive committee,
\nto spread information about the principles and policies of the ANC, and
\nparticularly about reconciliation,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The former South African president died on Dec. 5, 2013 at the age of 95
