Nelson Mandela’s grandson and political heir has banished his wife from their home after he discovered she had given birth to his brother’s baby.
Mandla Mandela, 38, was accused of bigamy when he married teenager Anais Grimaud while still married to his first wife.
Now, following weeks of media speculation that their marriage had ended amid blazing rows, Mr Mandela has confirmed that his wife had an affair with his brother
“The Mandela family has sent my wife Nkosikazi Nobubele Mandela (nee Anais Grimaud) back to her home after it was discovered she has been having an affair with one of my brothers”, he said.
“I confirm this affair resulted in a son that Nkosikazi Nobubele gave birth to in 2011.
The cuckold scandal is just the latest in a series of controversies involving Mandla Mandela, whom Nelson Mandela anointed as his political heir.
As well as being a South African MP, Mandla Mandela is a chief in the important Thembu tribe and handles much of his grandfather’s legacy.
As grandson of the universally respected 94-year-old he is also the public face of the Mandela family.
He married his first wife, Tanda Mabunu-Mandela, at a traditional ceremony in 2004.
Six years later he married Miss Grimaud, who is from the island of Reunion, a French overseas territory in the Indian Ocean.
On marriage she took the tribal name Nkosikazi Nobubele Mandela.
In a statement released this week, Mandla Mandela said DNA tests confirmed that the boy was not his son but he did not identify which of his two brothers was responsible.
“The revelation of this affair has come as a shock to me and the rest of my family,” the statement reads.
“It has been made more painful because it is my own brother who is at the centre of the crisis.”
Earlier this year Mandla Mandela was forced to deny selling exclusive rights to film the anti-apartheid icon's funeral for around £250,000.
Mandla's first wife Thando claimed that the tribal chieftain was alleged to have cut a deal with the South African Broadcasting Corporation in conjunction with the BBC.
He had also attracted criticism for ordering that the bodies of three of the former president's children be exhumed from their home village of Qunu and reburied in the nearby hamlet of Mvezo where he is a chief.
Mandla's motive, said his critics, was to ensure that the former president be buried in the remote Eastern Cape town: something that is sure to act as a lure for big-spending tourists.

Chris Brown feels “horrible” about Rihanna’s Oprah interview
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybRGDpgVNKTmIqvybWvFngmAwdX-5Zi8_wXnQ4rxXrp_1FLN44tajlZ2EWo2dGuLJdUMH-45ZxZ6QYLq0PV4dcfzjNAJHtpBsIuqT8CpKdKRPj7GLhrh_YfnWmb4oen471kXxoYMQ9bg/s320/FFN_CHP_Brown_Chris_072512_50842975.jpg)
So it seems that Team Breezy is still enjoying a very successful career in spite of the fact that he feels like the whole world piled on him when he just happened to beat the crap out of Rihanna three years ago. Might I add that Chris is still a violent a-hole who continues to spread his mayhem
Most recently, he nearly started a fight at a club the night before the Billboard Music Awards, and then in June, he and Drake got into a huge fistfight at the Greenhouse club in NYC.
In an interesting development, both Chris and Drake have been sued for $16 million by the company that owns the club trademark for “glass-flinging, broken-bottle-swinging free-for-all in a crowded club,” which make sense since publicity from the fight resulted in the loss of a licensing deal, the temporary shuttering of the club, and the ongoing threat of a lost liquor license
At the moment, however, Chris is still upset that he’s still known as the guy who beat up Rihanna. He’s reportedly aghast at the fact that Rihanna has spoken to Oprah about it during the interview that will air August 19, and he just doesn’t understand why things are being rehashed three years after the fact:
Chris Brown has seen the preview video of Rihanna’s upcoming interview with Oprah, Aug. 19, and he “feels horrible” because he and Rihanna are currently “more cool than anyone will know,” but he’s discouraged by his past mistake being rehashed over and over again, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively!
Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna back in 2009 will once again be front and center in the media when Rihanna’s interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter airs this Sunday August 19.
During the interview, Rihanna confesses and cries to Oprah: “I lost my best friend. Everything I knew switched, switched in a night. And I couldn’t control that. It’s not easy to interpret on camera, not with the world watching.”
A source close to Chris tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, “Chris saw the video clip. Of course he saw it, how do you think he feels? He feels horrible he did that.”
The source continues, “Watching [Rihanna's interview with Oprah] made him realize he made a big mistake and he’s been paying for it ever since. He’s working hard, in the studio, dancing, doing everything he can to rebuild his name and career and I think he been successful in doing all that. Y’all should be talking about his road to recovery and how he’s been a man and made s-t right. He and Ri are cool, more cool than anyone will know. She forgave the [boy] the minute that s-t went down, so what that say about their relationship?”

The Most exciting league in the world, The EPL is back,August 18th is the beginning of the Championship challenge
Champions Manchester City has surprisely not splashed the cash this summer, so far signing only Jack Rodwell from Everton. However as they showed in the Community Shield they are one of the top contenders. Manchester United have made three signings but most significant is the acquisition of Robin Van Persie.

BBA Stargame update: Tension as final 6 battle for $300,000 this Sunday
The 90-day long Big Brother Africa Stargame show season seven entered its day 85. In the journey to winning the 300,000USD cash prize for the competition, 29 houseemates have been evicted or have left the BBA House so far. This has placed six housemates to battle for the cash prize.
None of the trio of Nigeria’s Goldie, Chris and Ola were able to win the competition this time around after three successive winners have emerged from Nigeria; Kelvin Pam (2009), Uti Nwachukwu (2010) and Karen Igho (2011).
As the final day draws closer this Sunday, August 5, 2012, many believe that any of the six of the remaining housemates; Lady May, Kyle, Keagan, Talia, Prezzo and Wati can win the show. “It is now a game of luck,” an ardent BBA follower to Daily Post.
Prezzo and Lady May seem to be the favourite to win the competition. For some, Lady May is gradually taking the place of Goldie, after she was voted out of the house, as some Nigerians believe, courtesy Prezzo.
The housemates formation now has four East African countries and two Southern African countries. This means there is chance of any West African countries winning the competition this around also.
