South Africa to re -open the Nobel Nobel Laureate Investigation

The South African court is conditioned by the re -study of the circumstances surrounding the death of one of the most famous campaigns against the racist apartheid system, which was initially named accidental.

In 1967, the study of 1967 ruled that Albert Lutuli’s chief walked along the railway line when he struck the train and died after the skull was destroyed.

Activists and his family have long raised in the official version of the events and said they welcome the re -opening of the investigation.

Lutuli, who at the time of his death was the leader of the then African National Congress (Anc), received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1960 for the preservation of the fight against apartheid.

The Anc continued to fight the White Minority rule and came to power in 1994 after the first democratic elections.

The national persecution (NPA) stated that “to submit evidence before the trial in an attempt to have the initial conclusions on the death of the main loot … canceled.” He didn’t say it was proof.

Almost six decades ago, the initial investigation into the Nobel laureate “found that there was no evidence that revealed any criminal guilt from any of the South African railway staff or anyone else,” NPA reports last week.

But the companies suspected that the authorities killed him and covered it.

Lutuli’s grandson, Albert Mtunzi Lutuli, told News South Africa that the family “welcomes the re -opening of the investigation”, although it was the years after death “many people we suspected of participating in my grandfather’s murder.”

“We believe that the TRC (the Commission on Truth and Reconciliation) has allowed many victims to reduce, giving amnesty to the killers of apartheid,” he added, citing the process after apartheid, where he was guilty of violence in previous decades to fully admit their crimes.

At the time of the death of Lutuli, she did not allow her to leave her residential area in Grutville – now in the province of Kwazul -Natal – or to participate in politics.

He was the first Nobel Peace Prize winner in South Africa. The award was later presented by three other South African: Archbishop Desmond Tutu in 1984, and Nelson Mandela and Fw De Klerk in 1993.

Lutuli’s case is one of the two long-awaited investigations on the death of anti-portal figures that open on Monday. The rest is concerned with the Mlungisi Griffiths Mlungis MXENGE, which was killed in 1981.

It was stabbed 45 times with a knife and the throat was a gap.

A year later, the investigation of his death failed to determine his murderers, and only nine years later they were discovered – when Bhutan Mandal Nofamel confessed to the murder of MXENGE and seven other Anc members.

He was part of a hidden hit quad or confrontation that detained and killed activists against apartheid.

Nafthemel, together with his squad Dirk Kotka and David Interevo, were found guilty of murder in MXENGE in 1997, but TRC amnesties were granted before the criminal case could be completed.

Having explained the re -opening of the MXENGE death investigation last year, the Ministry of Justice stated that it was because new evidence appeared, suggesting that “certain important information” was not provided by TRC.

In South Africa, investigations often consider the definition of how a person died and whether anyone should be responsible for his death.
