Mandela's Family STOLE South African Aid Meant for the Poor

It comes as no surprise that Africa receives a vast amount of aid from the West. South Africa receives billions of dollars a year in aid from the United States alone. However, where that money has been allocated by South African authorities in the time of Mandela may come as a devastating shock.

While Mandela's children have been fighting over the graves of 3 dead siblings, several other family secrets have been exposed. Accusations over who got the bigger end of foreign aid and legal fees has created new wounds over the family, still fighting over where to bury their living father.

Apparently, over $246 Million dollars worth of aid to poor South Africans has been clandesently given to Mandela's children. Maki, one of Nelson Mandela's daughters, purchased a $1.36mm mansion in the exclusive Hyde Park neighborhood in Johannesburg. And the driveway is stocked with five Rolls Royce's. Very interesting that a woman who never had a job could afford all this.

Maki has given her children annual allowances well into the millions. Several of her children even have more expensive homes than her. And, according to sibling accusations, Maki is using more than her fair share of the foreign aid money....the foreign aid money meant for poor South Africans.

On top of all this, the South African economy tanked after Mandela's ascension to power. With no economic experience, but the love of the people, the South African Rand crashed to all time lows under Mandela. Corruption ran rapid in the government. The slums and unemployment spiked.

And while the poor of South Africa suffered, Mandela's family embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars.
