Nelson Mandela’s former lawyer Ismail Ayob said that he agreed to repay money to the Nelson Mandela Trust because he does not have the money for a court battle, weekend newspapers reported.
The Saturday Star quoted him as saying: “I don’t have a war chest of R20-million of other people’s money to fight an action forever. I have to raise every cent myself.
He also reportedly told 702 radio talk show host John Robbie that Mandela’s lawyer George Bizos engaged in a whispering campaign against him.
“He’s called me a fraudster, he’s called me a criminal, he’s sent people around saying I must be socially ostracised,” he was quoted as saying. - Sapa
