Mandela to sue former lawyer for exploitation
Nelson Mandela's lawyer on Monday said he was taking legal steps to protect his client from commercial exploitation following reports that a former confidant may have mismanaged the elder statesman's charity funds.

Prominent lawyer George Bizos is representing the Nelson Mandela Foundation in a suit against its former lawyer Ismail Ayob after between US$4.9 million and US$6.5 million went missing during Ayob's tenure, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.

Ayob and his associate Ross Calder allegedly tried to sell artworks signed by Mandela, according to the report, which said the venture went bankrupt.
