The ANC will wait for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to return from the US to South Africa to ask her about a UK media interview in which she reportedly lashed out at Nelson Mandela. African National Congress spokesman Ishmael Mnisi says this is not a matter they could sort out over the phone. He says attempts so far to contact her had been unsuccessful and the ANC decided it would be best to wait for her to return. Mnisi says he does not know when she is scheduled to return to South Africa. Madikizela-Mandela criticised Mandela in an interview published in the London Evening Standard this week. She said Mandela had become a "corporate foundation" who was being "wheeled out to collect the money".
