Police are after Mandla Mandela, whom they claim is evading arrest. It is now reported on TIMESLive that a warrant of arrest was issued last Friday after Mandela failed to appear in the Bityi Periodical Court near Mthatha on charges of Bigamy. It is also reported that he did not appear in the Bityi police station yesterday (20 February 2012) where he was mandated to appear.

The police station’s Commander has asked Cape Town police to arrest the Mvezo Chief. The National Prosecuting Authority reportedly denies that a warrant of arrest has been issued against the grandson of Nelson Mandela, however, on the other hand the Daily Dispatch in East London is reported to be in possession of a copy of the signed warrant.
