The prized handprint, said to have been accidentally created while working on
a sketch inspired by his 27-year imprisonment on Robben Island, contains in
the centre an image that resembles the African continent.
Makaziwe said in the filing that neither her nor Zenani “in our capacity
as directors, or in any other capacity, have ever received any notice to
pass a resolution appointing, or have ever appointed” the three people
as directors, the Star reported.
She added that the three have ignored a request for them to quit the company.
Mr Bizos fired back by accusing the daughters of trying to “get their
hands on things that should not be sold.”
“There is no basis to the allegations. We are not hijackers,” Mr
Bizos told the Star.
“The public should ask themselves why five years later these allegations
are being laid. We are confident we were regularly appointed at the wish of
Mr Mandela five years ago,” he added.
Mr Sexwale, Human Settlements Minister and businessman, who was also cited in
the case, told eNCA television that he felt there was something “dodgy”
about the court case.
He maintained that the three people in question were appointed trustees by Mr
Mandela.
“I still do not know what the quarrel is about. As a colleague and a
comrade of Nelson Mandela, if he appoints you, you do the job.”
