Inkatha Freedom party founder prominent in liberation struggle but his rivalry with ANC led to bloodshed in 80s and 90s
Mangosuthu Buthelezi, a veteran South African politician, Zulu prince and controversial figure during the liberation struggle against apartheid, has died, the presidency said. He was 95.
Buthelezi had a procedure for back pain in July and was later readmitted to hospital when the pain did not subside, according to South African news website News24. Buthelezi was a champion of his people and a prominent figure in the struggle against apartheid but his rivalry with the ANC led to fraught days and much bloodshed before South Africa was able to elect its first Black leader.
