Africa — Thousands of mourners gathered in South Africa’s eastern town of Ulundi on Saturday, September 16, for the state funeral of veteran politician and Zulu prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
Buthelezi, a controversial figure during the apartheid liberation struggle because of his bitter rivalry with the African National Congress (ANC), died last week aged 95.
The founder of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) served two terms as Minister of Home Affairs in the post-apartheid government after reconciling with his governing ANC rival, Nelson Mandela.
