The will of former South African President and world hero, Nelson Mandela was read to his family members today February 3rd.
Reading the 40 page will, Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke said Mandela's third wife, Graca Machel, is entitled to half the estate under South African marital law but could waive her claims and opt for specified assets that include properties in her native Mozambique. Machel has not made a decision on whether to weave her rights, Moseneke said.
The will directs that each of his children and some of his grand-children are to receive $300,000. His upscale Johannesburg house, where he spent most of his life after being freed from apartheid prison, would be home to his deceased son Makgatho's children.

Zuriel.
Hope it will bcome war of d titans within d 90days?
This is very interesting! I won't make any allusion to nigeria politicians, that's an over the bar cliché. He lived a life worth emulating, i'll say a role model to death.. Good9t Madiba

This man was a true leader sent from God if it was naija leader hmmmm I guess it be 100 trillion dollar shame to naija leaders I wish they can learn from this man, as great as he was he only had $4.1 which naija leader can do dis I guess the person will be a local government counselor for just a year
I hope his family understands and obey his wish
Yeah expected more anyways nt just d monetary part he left a strong legacy for every1
Thatz fair enough
interesting
Hmmmm a whole madela I tot. He. Be worth ova. A 100m dolls oh. Lol.... Na wah oh.
what of willie mandela? is she not part of the will? :(
See ur miserable self u think is Nigeria where politicians embezzel money for there future generations u are so lame he should be worth more than dat I feel like slapping d hell out of u.
What do u mean only? U think it's this useless country where you leaders have sucked u bone dry and are worth trillions of blood dollars when they die? $4m is a lot dear. Bless his hustle
He was an upright man, not a criminal like some of our supposed leaders.
Wish I was related to him oooo. Me sef for get some quid :)
A man of legacy and a true legend.c how he tried 2 remember evrybody in his will....wot a man wit a hrt of gold.
No possible wetin
Money as good as it can be is grossly overrated cus like all human invention nd ideas, it will surely pass away. Money is nowhere near eternal things like influence nd grace. I rather have influence, power, wisdom nd relevance than mere currencies nd coins. So many people in this world re so poor, all they have is money.
He was indeed a good man. Our greedy politicians and leaders should borrow a leaf from him. Rest in peace Madiba.
Going by the standards of Nigerian Leaders Mandela was poor,even dirt broke. That one is only two houses in Banana Island. E no reach to even buy house for Abj or dubai, not to talk of Private jet.
Thats the difference btw leadership and not the invitation to chop us dry we have given our leaders in Nigeria.
Sure most of the money came from Royalties on his books and speaking engagements, not thief thief.
A mans worth is not in multitude of riches@chinyere
Tot he was richer than this??
How I wish our leaders can take a cue from Mandela by giving to Charity.
Is because his not a thief like our 9ja lders dat is why @chinyere
He isn't worth more cos he is not a rogue like naija politician, even a local govt chairman is worth more than this in naija. Naija politicians stop stealing from Naija treasury, mama peace n cohorts, u all shld learn from Mandela.
What's to contest, it seems fair na!
Exactly oooo
Linda I nor no Weytin I do with u tht u dnt like posting my comments shei ur nt aware tht I pay to be online to comment tht u won't post my comment bia lindodo stop am I nor like am
Atleast it wasn't given to only his families,outsiders too benefited from it... Nice sha
Nothing for winnie??!
Wow!
If it was to be a Nigerian politicians,it won't be anything less Billions dollars... Greedy bastards we call rulers.
Not every1 would av a corrupt mind like urs. How much do u av in ur account? She goat.
This man is just a good example to everyone even in death
Wow,I wish our leaders will learn frm this man.
Winnie got her own share during their Divorce!
What abt mama winnie now?
Sallysmart
Shutup u fool. ..if u don't have anything reasonable to say Shutup. .ur fighting for another 100k abi?ozuor
So happy 2 be a South Africa dat man tried ihope winnie madikizela wont try anytin stupid im tired of dem,ihope dey respect his wish.RIP MANDELA
i seriously used to have some respect for this Onyx guy....but its getting more obvious that he has what we call fish brain. Imagine him saying madiba's issue is over flogged...guy...u need rehab abeg...local one o..as in babalawo kind of rehab...mtcheew!
Hmmmmmmm, God
He should be worth more? LMFAO. We are used to even Local Government councillors with a lot of money. Shame.
Mandela didn't need money. I doubt if he bought anything with his money. All gifts. A man of honour. Money isn't everything. A good name is much better.
Like seriously dis Onyx boy is becoming too senseless and irrational.. Weda u dey smoke weed with d 100K na only God knw for ur tiny neck wey dey like giraffe own..!
Bter bhave ur senseless self!
Nigerians are so funny. How can you guys be saying he should be worth more than that? Seriously? No he shouldn't be worth more than that bcos leadership is a call to serve, not to steal. Some of our leaders have cars worth more than $4mill cos they have looted us dry. And their loots, if ever recovered are to be re-looted by the new leaders. How much dyu think Obama is worth? Not much. I tell ya, Nigeria is doomed. The worth of a man's life is not measured in the abundance of things owned...RIP Mandela. God bless u. You didn't even forget your house servants, you also didn't forget your beginnings. I wish our leaders would learn from you.
Wow gr8t of him
Nice 1 madiba though ur gone but ur legacy will live forever!
A bigger Fool U I pray.!
Lmfaooo @ 100k
Ngwa now dat u hv realised u r not d 1st 2 comment take ur rightful place which is several seats @ d back n continue 2 mourn Madiba u hear? Gud girl! May ur mum's soul continu 2 rest in peace. Amen.
Winnie was his ex. Guess that's why his widow got first dibs.
He may not have died super rich as per Naija standard but his "legacy" will buy all your politicians and their generation and still collect change. That name 'Madiba' will take his family anywhere in the world on a first class ride. You know what it takes for almost all the presidents of the G7 nations to attend his funeral? go figure!
rest in peace African's father
rest in peace African's father
Ode! How much do u have????? You'll jes come here and open ur mouth gbagaaaa without thinking. Show me how much u are worth naa!
Sharrap there biko! How much u get???? Your own is jes to say anything u like. Must you comment?????? Miri Amu
The short Governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, who was an ex broke ass medical doctor said he is BILLIONS, just like many other Governors. Like his cousin Ibori, he may end up in prison. God is WATCHING.
Good man to the core.
Hahahah..
gbayii jare Sylvia
Really don't rate him much cos of his treatment of winnie. Treats her like she is a stain in his perfect life
Dat wil jxt demonstrated dat he is a true leader.
Winnie already got her share when they divorced !!
I really feel for Winnie. The poor woman was left out of the will after all her struggles with Mandela. I dont care about her mistakes, she does deserve a fair share
woah!! Easy girl he aint fighting.no hAtINg.
With the integrity and honor Mandela died with, no amount of monies can equate it even if u lived for 200yrs. This man has simply proved that money can be useless in d affairs of men, and yet, u can be revered above those who hourd it. RIP great Madiba
Winnie got divorce settlement!! She still has the name and even if she's not longer the wife, she has more respect from south african more than gracia cld ever dream of..
By the way, the wise thing for gracia to do is waiver the 50% right.. She probably earn more respect from pple that way! Now she has outlived 2 husband.. A president and a former president... #thinking# Only God knws who is next
He's a true legend... He remembered his aids, d school(s) he attended, d political party dat must sponsored n supported him into office... Dats a true legend, a quiet 1@dat. Dose worth 100billion dols sure dnt av dis kinda heart... His lil funds still went beyond his household, nau dats true leadership n a mature spirit
Check out he's pix, the boy is gay...
Madiba lived a selfless and simply life. We love u tata. #NewsBlist
If so,his oldest surviving grandson,Mandla Mandela is richer than him.That guy has a lot stake,in the mining industry.
This ain't talk for gays,faggot.
Only $4.1m! whereas in my country $4.1m is somebody's monthly salary and maintenance allowance.This man is an epitome of truthfulness and transparency. Continue to RIP Mandiba!
Aww if it was in naija he shud worth more than dat oh bless his soul he lived an emulating n transparent life nigerian politicians shud learn from him in fact they go to his grave n still learn foolish nigerian politicians
Y'all should do ur research before complaining, all winnie's children where given $300,000 dollars each and there children(his grand children) $100,000 each too...I think that's fair enough! RIP KING(Role model)
U re an idiot...even if ur generation can worth 100billion dollars. ..what u dnt realise is...a man's worth is nt calculated based on money but d impact he made on peoples life nd more importantly. ..d legacy he leaves behind. . Oya talk again. ...lemme hear.. .o for ode
Too small for Mandela.
What a way to live! honest even on death, I wish our rogues former and present leaders can learn from this. That ape called OBJ worth $120billion after leaving office, That Evil Genius called IBB worth $85billion , That owl of a man called Tinubu worth $72billion as in feb 2013 then that Adamawa Mafia ex VP worth $65bilion thats why he has been fighting for a comeback to see if he can make it to atleast to $100bilion then Mama peace and his boy own......lolssss not certain now lets wait till 2015 to get our facts clear. shameless fools. Abacha and Abudusalami own are $30 and $25billions each.

Wow... That was good of him... May he continue to RIP.
Some people will just come here and type rubbish without tinkin twice? Ur mouth like only? Only? Tell us ur own worth make we know!
Mandela though he is being celebrated as an unforgiven spirit. Winnie deserves to be recognized in his will. She was instrumental to Mandela's release from Prison. May God forgives his unforgiven soul.
Chai, nothing for Winnie? So he forgave those who imprisoned him but not a woman he claimed to love! Chai
He is a great man at least he has his family members and country at heart. imagine adding the schools he attended and even his political party. He is a man with a golden heart kudos to him.
You are the fool here, why call someone a fool, idiot
Google what winnie did to him, her affairs et all b4 u judge him. rip mandela.
This Man was truly a great man. Ibori's bribe to Nuhu Ribadu alone was $15m
...worth BILLION.
...worth BILLIONS.
Better papa
@anonymous 4:12am.I love your submission.
Who is Willie Mandela? Oga, pls come off it, her name is WINNIE pls.
You are so right you know.Money is good but there are more important things.One of which is a good name which he had
Madiba is a man worthy of emulation. You people are saying he's worth more than that but remember the coins he had is not a measure of how wealthy he was.He had a good name,endowed with wisdom to say but a few. He was very wealthy
He wz a true leader indeed
Good Bye Mandela, we will miss u
Mandela shaa...jes 2 humble,A Man wif gr8 Integrity...stayed in prison 4 27yrs,worth 4.1 million...obasanjo went 2 prison 2secs worth hw much??? (•_•)
His Total worth is what our Local Govt Chairmen steal in 1 year!!!
Father of Afica...... Great man indeed!!!!!
