Nelson Mandela bans Naomi Campbell from his 90th birthday concert

According to the Daily Mail of London, the former South African leader told organisers to take the 38-year-old supermodel off the bill for London's Hyde Park charity event after she was fined and sentenced to 200 hours' community service for assaulting two police officers on board a British Airways flight at Heathrow in April.
