Although Mandela seems to be a headhot chap, this woman is also making easy things look difficult. She knew when she married Mandla that the chap is a traditional leader and he would later want to marry another wife. I don’t why people have sympathy over her. She came into the marriage with nothing but wants to come out a millionaire. If this is about love why so many court cases?
Look people, if your estranged wife takes U to court and wants U to pay the legal fees will that make sense? This is on top of the R12,500.00 maintenance she is being paid? Why cant she pull from the R12,500.00 to pay the legal fees? This woman must just be divorced, she is not fit to be the wife of a Chief.

Therein lies the problem. People who either don't understand their own culture or who twist it to suit themselves. Polygamy is accepted in most SA cultures BUT every single one of those cultures gives the W1FE the deciding say in who may or may not be included into the marriage.

whether he married her with nothing of which I don't believe that is the case, he is the one who broke the promise and cheated. don't be mistaken polygamy doesn't say cheat at the same time just because someone is a traditional leader doesn't give them a right to walk on other people's head. stop using tradition for ububhanxa Mandla is playing the law and is breaking all the rules but hey what's new blame it on the woman right. These traditional leaders need to realise that women are not positions
