JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Relatives sang hymns and songs from South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle Tuesday as forensic scientists exhumed bodies believed to belong to two young activists last seen 24 years ago at the home of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
...
Madikizela-Mandela has denied all knowledge of the two. But her chief bodyguard, Jerry Richardson, told the commission that he and a colleague had killed the two on her orders.
Nicodemus Sono, father of the missing man, told the commission that Madikizela-Mandela had come to his home with his son, face bruised from beatings, in November 1998. She had demanded photographs and documents, telling the father that his son was a spy for the apartheid police.

That was Chris Rock back when he was still funny —
In the 1990’s, I was asked to write short biographies on both Nelson and Winnie Mandela for a textbook series for young people. They paid me for both, but only published the one on Nelson. My article on Winnie almost certainly didn’t pass muster because it was too unflattering, but that’s the way it had to be if I were to tell her true story.
Earlier, this company had paid me for an article on Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the Soviet atom spies, but when the book was published, it contained a different article—not nearly as well-researched as mine—which portrayed them as victims of “McCarthyism.”
Whatever it is, nothing will happen as a result of it. The icons of the left cannot be tarnished by such light pecaddiloes as conspiracy and murder.
God is Just. His punishments always fit the crime.
Kind of like they gush over Michelle Obama.
Prospective birds of a feather?
You forgot to mention how much she loved the smell.
She was connected to murders from the mid 80's through the early 90's and apparently was cheating on Nelson while he was in prison. He finally divorced her in 1994. I doubt anyone here is shocked that she was still winning elections in 2009.
What is necklacing?
These same sh*twit teachers used to protest against nuclear arms, too. The irony was intense.
CNN was already previewing the Mandela Myth last week when they thought he was going to die. Since he was released from the hospital, they had to put it back into mothballs, but we will be treated to the msm’s worship of this avowed Leftist when he finally croaks.
An old tire filled with gasoline in put around the victim’s neck and set afire.
They still think her crap doesn’t stink.
Once they're done doing the same with Chavez.
“Relatives sang hymns and songs from South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle Tuesday”
WTF has that got to do with Winnie Mandela possibly murdering people?!
If you're white, your chances are likely greater, especially if Mandela goes room temp by that time.
Knowing that makes it just a little bit worse.
See 19 and 37.
However, my article was rejected in favor of one which portrayed the Rosenbergs as victims of "McCarthyism," anti-Communist hysteria and government overreach. Its sources included The Rosenberg Story by Virginia Gardner (New York: Masses and Mainstream, 1954). Virginia Gardner, a journalist, was a long-time Communist Party activist, and Masses and Mainstream, which published it, was described by Howard Fast, a Communist at the time, as "a magazine of the Left."
The timing for the publication of a pro-Rosenberg article couldn't have been worse. Months, or perhaps weeks, after the textbook was issued, the government released the Venona files, which Richard Lamphere had mentioned in his memoir, and which provided overwhelming evidence that the Rosenbergs were spies. The evidence mounted in succeeding years as KGB files were made public. In 2001, Aleksandr Feklisov, the Rosenbergs' Soviet case officer, even published his own memoir: The Man Behind the Rosenbergs : By the KGB Spymaster Who was the case officer of Julius Rosenberg, Klaus Fuchs, and Helped Resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis (New York: Enigma, 2001).
So the case against the Rosenbergs is, for all practical purposes, closed.
