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.

I remember back in the 80's when the international community and press gushed over her.

I even remember on The Cosby Show, when they named the twin babies “Nelson” and “Winnie”.

Google “necklacing.” Winnie Mandela ordered many such atrocities. She is a monster. Both Mandelas are crooks. Seeing them lionized makes me physically ill.

And I’m planning on a buffalo hunt in South Africa in August, I hope they don’t end up hunting me.

They took a producing country and turned it manure overnight.

Obama is working hard to do the same thing here and for the same reason——Racism.

Wasn’t there a young teenage boy who was ‘necklaced’?

She is demonic.

I remember when my liberal Dutch friend who gets ALL of her news from the NYT gushed over her (and him). I remember I became instantly enraged and screamed they are !@#$%^&* communist! And I asked her if she had any idea what necklacing was. She did not know.

Anyone care to guess which South African murder inquest will receive more publicity?

Oscar Pistorius v Winnie Mandela.

Betting line forms here.

I question the sanity :) of any American who leaves this country, especially those that travel to Africa or the ME.

Winnie Mandela’s crimes are old news. And “What difference does it make?”

I don’t know who wound up blackmailing Chris Rock, because at one time, he was about as non-PC as they came....Now, he is as PC as they come.

For those too lazy too google, I will relay what I remember reading about necklacing from 30 years ago.

The victim was sat on the ground, hands tied behind their back, a tyre with gasoline in the hollow was placed around their neck and lit on fire.

Winnie personally ordered and supervised many such horrific executions. As I recall, St. Nelson only divorced her when such became widely known. Sort of like St. BO leaving the church of Rev. Wright.

I presume this is one of those “reconciliation commissions” that is empowered to find the truth, provided nobody goes to jail or suffers consequences as a result?
