Charlize Theron has landed herself in kak after auctioning off a meeting with Nelson Mandela without his authorisation.

Charlz attended the OneXOne benefit gala in San Francisco and joined in the charity auction. She offered up a lot which included a 20-second kiss, a trip to the 2010 soccer World Cup in South Africa, a safari ride and a meeting with the anti-apartheid icon.

A female bidder paid $140 000 for the prize, and locked lips with the Oscar winner onstage at the event. But Charlz has been rebuked for her good deed - bosses at the Nelson Mandela Foundation have confirmed she did not obtain permission to extend an invitation to meet with the former politician.

The foundation's chief executive, Achmat Dangor, tells Beeld newspaper, "A very strict process needs to followed to get a meeting with Mandela. Not even the charity foundations Mandela himself established are allowed to auction off time with him." How dodgy?

We know Charlize is a powerful woman, but selling off Madiba is just plain ludicrous! But it’s Charlize and we can forgive her almost anything and will still vot6e for her in the heat Hot 100 poll!
