NELSON MANDELA has bequeathed more than £2.5m to his family, the schools that educated him, the staff who served him – and the ANC.

His estate, which includes properties in Johannesburg and the Eastern Cape, has been provisionally valued at 46 million rand (£2.53m), estate executor Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Mosenke revealed. The total value is likely to increase as royalties from his autobiography continue to flow in.
