Nelson Mandela's grandson turns Nelson's former home into a 'hangout for drug users' and 'scantily-clad women'
Nelson Mandela's grandson has turned the former president's home into a 'hangout for drug users' and 'scantily clad women.
In his will, Mandela stated that his grandsons (Ndaba and Mbuso) can live at the Houghton Estate property in Johannesburg rent-free for life.
But the trustees of the property say that brothers Ndaba and Mbuso Mandela's 'unbecoming' behaviour was tarnishing the property's legacy.
One of the brothers' cousins, Tukwinio Mandela, said that Mbuso had let 'troublesome friends and their families' stay on the property in a separate cottage.
She said: 'The friends he invited to stay in the cottage were often intoxicated, and the gate and house keys were left in their possession, which allowed them full access to the property, including the main house.'
Tukwinio added that she repeatedly saw 'scantily clad women' and 'intoxicated people' in the yard, and that items from the home began to disappear.
'These items were later found in the cottage,' she said.

As a result, the house had allegedly fallen into disrepair, with the cousin saying appliances had been stripped and carpets stained.
High court judge Gcina Malindi called the brother's behaviour 'destructive'.
The trustees are applying for an order to ban Ndaba from entering the property and are also looking to evict him.
They are attempting to get a similar order regarding the main home for his brother Mbuso.

Before his death he put in his will that his grandsons Ndaba, Mbuso and their brother Andile could reside there 'free of any consideration for their lifetime'.

Nelson Mandela (front L), accompanied by his wife Winnie, walks out of the Victor Verster prison, near Cape Town, after spending 27 years in apartheid jails, February 11, 1990. Winnie pioneered the use of "necklacing" (placing an old tire around the neck of her victim, filling it with gasoline, and setting it on fire).
Winnie was convicted in 1991 over the kidnap and murder of a 14-year-old boy, and in 2003 was convicted again for fraud
Winnie was convicted of having a central role in the murder of Stompie Seipei Moeketsi, a 14-year-old, just 4ft 6in tall, who suffered horrific torture and whose body was found, with his throat cut by a pair of shears, near Winnie’s house in early 1989
