Former President Nelson Mandela of South Africa speaks to visitors on March 8, 1999 in his residence in Houghton. The SA Heritage Resources Agency says they are heritage items and cannot be sold.
The affidavit was lodged in opposition to a court bid by the SA Heritage Resources Agency and the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture to repatriate artefacts belonging to the late statesman which they referred to as heritage objects. In a statement to News24 on Monday, Ndaba confirmed he too had opened a case against Makaziwe at the Norwood police station in May 2021, stating the items she claimed were hers were allegedly stolen from the Mandela residence.
Asked if Ndaba is involved in Sahra's legal action against Makaziwe, the co-founder and chairperson of the Mandela Institute for Humanity said he was not but would like to be. Regarding the family's current relationship with Makaziwe, Ndaba said his aunt was"very defiant", adding:"I can see that it's purely desperation on her part. She clearly needs money, and she's willing to sell her own legacy. She's selling her own legacy, and she's selling her family's legacy."
