[edit] Reversion war

User:Zayd has repeatedly removed the section on the lawsuit against Ayob, by Nelson Mandela, despite it being extensively referenced and documented in the South African media. Although it needs cleanup, it is significant, given that Mandela's iconic status was at the centre of the case. Indeed, it is probably more significant than the section in the introduction about Ayob's personal life, which includes unnecessary details about his family such as this one:

He is married to Zamila Ayob and they have one son, Zayd Ismail Ayob. Park3r 08:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

The reference to his son would be more significant if mentioned that Zayd Ayob is also a partner in his father's legal firm. Zaian 16:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

For some reason, the Nelson Mandela lawsuit section was added to this article since it was said that it is important, I promised I would expand on it and I did, now the expansion ive done is constantly deleted (despite being properly referenced) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zayd (talk • contribs) 18:05, February 11, 2007

First, please sign your posts on Talk pages.

Second, your addition needs to be cleaned up and shortened considerably. It's not the dominating occurrence in this person's life and we're giving it undue weight. --ElKevbo 23:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I have amended the latest article to reflect a truer position as is contained in the final Court order and in the papers filed regarding this matter in the High Court of South Africa.
