Nelson Mandela's Eldest Grandson - Sued for Unpaid Legal Fess!

Lawyers of the apartheid icon Nelson Mandela's Eldest Grandson said they have gone to court over unpaid legal fees after a well-publicised court feud with relatives while the peace icon lay in hospital.

Mr Mandla Mandela owes Randall Titus & Associates "approximately half a million rand (S$60,500)", company director Randall Titus told AFP on Thursday.

"We've obtained a judgement against Mr Mandela," he said, adding that the sheriff would seize Mr Mandla Mandela's assets.

The company represented Mr Mandla in several cases, most famously in July, when he lost a court battle with 16 family members while the Nobel peace laureate was critically ill in hospital.
