THE public feud between Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and ex-husband President Nelson Mandela took another turn on Friday when she accused her ex-husband of using apartheid-era laws to try seize the home they shared in the 1960s. Madikizela-Mandela has launched a court challenge to the president’s claim to ownership over the tiny house in Soweto. Mandela bought the house from the Soweto council in April 1997, and last year gave it to the Soweto Heritage Trust, an independent group concerned with preserving Soweto’s history.
