Concern as Nelson Mandela’s Home Abandoned Over Unpaid Bills
There have been concerns as the residence of the former South African President Nelson Mandela, where he resided until his passing, now stands abandoned, Excel Magazine International has gathered.
South African journalist Silindelo Masikene revealed in a Friday tweet that Mandela’s grandchildren, the last occupants of the home, vacated the premises due to outstanding electricity bills.
Masikane shared exclusive photos of the vacant mansion on 12th Avenue in Houghton, emphasizing that it was Mandela’s final abode.
The ex-President’s grandchildren departed after the electricity supply was disconnected, citing unpaid utility bills.
They assert that these bills should have been covered by the Nelson Rolihlala Mandela Trust.
In Masikane’s words, “EXCLUSIVE: The last place former president #NelsonMandela called home has been abandoned.
“The mansion on 12th Avenue in Houghton was being occupied by Mandela’s grandchildren but they moved out after the lights were cut due to unpaid utility bills – which according to his grandchildren are supposed to be paid by the Nelson Rolihlala Mandela Trust.
“10 years after the statesman’s death and his estate has still not been wind up.”
