A South
African magistrate has ordered Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to auction off scores
of paintings, sculptures and a silver tea set to pay off her debts, according
to a court document seen Tuesday. Household goods belonging to the once
revered anti-apartheid campaigner and ex-wife of Nelson Mandela, will go under
the hammer next Tuesday to cover fees she owes to an upmarket Johannesburg
private school, according to the order released by a Soweto sheriff.
A dining table set, 50 paintings,
sculptures and a “room with books” are listed in the sale. Madikizela-Mandela owes the school around
40,000 rand ($4,300, 3,350 euros) in accommodation fees for a family member,
the Sowetan newspaper reported. She earns around 900,000 rand ($98,000,
75,000 euros) a year as a member of South Africa’s parliament.
