{{The ex-wife of South Africa’s first black President Nelson Mandela has demanded his village home for her children, potentially triggering the first legal dispute since his death.}}<\/p>\n

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s lawyers said she was asserting her “customary rights” by demanding the house.<\/p>\n

Mr Mandela’s estate was provisionally valued at 46m rand ($4.3m; \u00a32.5m) following his death in December.<\/p>\n

The thrice-married Mr Mandela divorced Mrs Madikizela-Mandela in 1996.<\/p>\n

The couple had two daughters, Zinzi and Zenani.<\/p>\n

Mr Mandela has one surviving child, Makaziwe, from his first marriage to the late Evelyn Mase.<\/p>\n

He was married to Graca Machel, the wife of Mozambique’s late President Samora Machel, at the time of his death.<\/p>\n

‘Mandela family unity’<\/p>\n

His large family – which includes grandchildren and great grandchildren – was hit by legal disputes over his wealth and burial site as he battled a recurring lung infection in the months leading to his death at the age of 95.<\/p>\n
