Senior police management blocked a planned raid on
charities associated with former president Nelson Mandela, according to a
report on Friday.
High level police officials were worried that a
raid on the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, and
the Nelson Mandela trust would cause embarrassment, said the Mail &
Guardian.
After this, a letter from police unit the Hawks was
sent, including to some Mandela relatives, demanding financial statements.
