The residence of late former South African President Nelson Mandela, where he resided before his passing, now sits abandoned.
As reported by South African journalist Silindelo Masikene in a Friday tweet, Mandela’s grandchildren, the last occupants of the home, departed due to unpaid electricity bills.
Sharing photos of the house, Masikane wrote, “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.”
