Mandela Family Disputes Mar His Legacy

As Nelson Mandela lies in critical condition in a Pretoria hospital, his family is cashing in on his legacy and fighting over custodianship of his brand and assets worth millions of dollars.

One of his daughters and three of his grandchildren are using the former South African president’s name in such pursuits as wine marketing and a reality television show, “Being Mandela.” His relatives also were embroiled in two lawsuits to secure control over his trust funds and the burial places of the remains of three of his children.
