Article: Mandela's house is mine: Winnie

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela believes that former president Nelson Mandela's widow Graca Machel should not inherit a property in Qunu because she owns "a whole world in Mozambique", Sowetan reported on Tuesday.

"This property is mine and I attained it when the old man was on Robben Island, and there's no dispute about that," she told Sowetan's sister newspaper the Daily Dispatch.
