Charlize Theron didn’t have the consent of Nelson Mandela to put a meeting with him under the hammer at an auction last week.
The actress auctioned a meeting with the former South African president at a charity event in San Francisco earlier this month — the same event where she famously smooched another woman — but the Nelson Mandela Foundation said a meet-and-greet with the anti-apartheid icon needed “a rigorous process” and that the South African-born star was yet to send in a request.
“Not even the charity foundations Mandela himself established are allowed to auction off time with him,” NMF’s chief executive Achmat Dangor Dangor said in a statement to the BBC on Wednesday.

South African screen siren Charlize Theron has backed out of the globetrotting thriller The Tourist — and fellow Oscar winner Angelina Jolie is now reportedly in discussions to replace her, industry spies tell The Hollywood Reporter.
No reason has been given for Charlize’s departure..
The Tourist is a remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer. The plot follows an American tourist traveling abroad who is seduced by a beautiful woman and becomes caught in an international plot involving Interpol and the Russian mafia who both mistake him for a criminal mastermind.
Sam Worthington, of Terminator: Salvation and Avatar, has already signed on to play the male lead.
The Tourist is slated to begin shooting in early 2010.
Charlize Theron is all set to don the skin tight catsuit as she plays Catwoman in the upcoming follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2008 film The Dark Knight.
The South African actress, who won a Best Actress Oscar for playing serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003 film Monster, was overjoyed to learn that she has joned high profile contenders Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie as one of the stars up for the coveted role previously played by Eartha Kitt, Julie Newmar, and Halle Berry.
“That’s kick-ass news…. I think what has happened to that franchise is amazing. CHRIS NOLAN is a genius. I would be an idiot to not consider that part,” Charlize told The Daily Express this week.
Charlize Theron is gracing the September cover of Vogue.
“I just know I’m going to have five boys,” the Academy Award-winning “Monster” star says of the prospect of children with her longtime boyfriend, actor Stuart Townsend. “We’ve been together for almost nine years, so by now we’ve kind of realized that we’re going to take this journey together.”
