The home of a former South African President, Nelson Mandela, where he lived before he died has been abandoned.
A recent tweet by South African journalist, Silindelo Masikene, revealed that the Mandela’s grandchildren, who were the home’s last occupants, left over unpaid electricity bills.
While sharing photos of the house, Masikane tweeted: “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.”
