Something for Everyone! By: Madelyn Winkelman

On Monday the will of the late Nelson Mandela was finally read to the entire Mandela family. President Mandela left his $4.1 million estate to designated family members, former staff, and school of ruling African National Congress. But issues of course arised Nelson Mandela's 3rd wife tried to stake her claim to half of his estate, wither or not it will happen is still undecided. But on a happier note, all 30+ kids ,grandkids, and great grandkids will each receive $300,000.


I'm glad such a generous man was in power for a time. His will not only includes money and homes for his family and employees, but it also donates so much to surrounding schools and charity's. Nelson Mandela was a great man and I only hope the next man of power will be similar to him.
