Nelson Mandela's grandson faces ban from funeral after bitter family feud...

Mandela’s relatives are rowing over his £10million estate and lucrative deals that could be worth billions.

It is also believed some of the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s children could contest his will.

Mandla Mandela, 39, chosen by his grandfather to inherit his traditional Thembu tribal chieftaincy seven years ago, was in charge of arranging one of the world’s biggest funerals.

But some family members think the three times married South African MP has brought them such shame that they have cut him off.

Mandla has been taken to court by 15 relatives and has seen his plans for the funeral dashed.

“Feelings are running very high and he’s not welcome,” said a family insider.

“The next big battle will be deciding who gets what. Madiba [Mandela’s tribal name] has a wife, an ex-wife, three children and 17 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.”

After Mandela’s death aged 95 last week the family is fi ghting over who should run the 110 companies that control his name and image. Full story...
