London, Dec 26 (ANI): Nelson Mandela's grandson, Mandla, is facing charges of contempt of court as he tied the knot for the third time, despite a prohibitory court order, which prevented him from marrying anyone while still validly married to his first wife.
The first wife of Mandla Mandela, 37 is seeking to have her husband's wedding to a Swazi princess, Mbali Makhathini, annulled in court, according to reports.
The wedding took place at Mvezo Royal Palace in rural Eastern Cape province on Saturday.
A South African court on Thursday granted Tando Mabunu-Mandela, his first and currently only legal wife, a ban on him marrying another woman, for the second time in seven months, the Telegraph reported.
"You must remember that both Mandela and his new wife Nodiyala are both in contempt of court, they ignored a court order ... I am busy ... drafting the papers," her lawyer Wesley Hayes told the Sapa news agency.
Mabunu had her ex husband's 2010 marriage to a woman from Reunion Island declared illegal in May this year on the same grounds.
A sheriff last week seized assets worth 100,000 rands (12,000 dollars) from Mandla after he was unable to pay maintenance to Mabunu pending their divorce that has been lagging since 2009. (ANI)
