In February, the foundation publicly scolded South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC), which Mandela used to head, for whisking him off to an election rally to endorse the party's then candidate for President, Jacob Zuma. Zuma responded angrily, saying, "Madiba (as Mandela is known) does not belong to a foundation but to the ANC."
