A South African magistrate has ordered Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to auction off scores of paintings, sculptures and a silver tea set to pay off her debts, according to a court document seen Tuesday. Household goods belonging to the once revered anti-apartheid campaigner and ex-wife of Nelson Mandela, will go under the hammer next Tuesday to cover fees she owes to an upmarket Johannesburg private school, according to the order released by a Soweto sheriff. A dining table set, 50 paintings, sculptures and a "room with books" are listed in the sale.

Desmond Tutu will not vote for South Africa's ruling African National Congress, which brought Nelson Mandela to power exactly 19 years ago, the Nobel Peace laureate said in an article published Friday. Massive poverty, inequality and falling standards have cost the ANC the retired archbishop's support, he said in an opinion piece carried by the Mail & Guardian. "I have over the years voted for the ANC, but I would very sadly not be able to vote for them after the way things have gone," the 81-year-old wrote.

Kenya has written to the UN Security Council seeking to scrap the international crimes against humanity trials for President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Vice President William Ruto, according to a letter seen Thursday. Kenyatta, 51, voted into power in March elections, is to go on trial in July at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for crimes against humanity relating to post-election violence in 2007-08. Ruto, 46, faces three counts of crimes against humanity for his role in the deadly violence.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who faces international trial for crimes against humanity, will travel to London on Sunday for a three-day official visit, the presidency said. Kenyatta, who will be making his first trip outside Africa as leader, will attend a conference on Somalia in London on Tuesday, but will "also hold bilateral meetings" with British Prime Minister David Cameron, an official Kenyan statement read.
