Nelson Mandela's ex-wife has lost a legal bid for ownership
of the former president's rural home in South Africa.
The Mthatha High Court dismissed Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's
application and ordered her to pay all legal costs.
She argued that the house in Qunu village, where Mr Mandela
spent most of the time until his death in 2013, belonged to her under customary
law.
Mr Mandela, who was South Africa's first black president in
1994, had bequeathed the home to his family.
He divorced Ms Madikizela-Mandela in 1996 after a 38-year
marriage.
The government opposed Ms Madikizela-Mandela's bid to inherit
the home.
