Cebekhulu’s benefactor coming to SA

FRIDAY, 12.30PM

FORMER British MP Emma Nicholson, who has been sheltering Katiza Cebekhulu, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s kidnapping co-accused who was abducted and carried to Zambia to prevent him testifying against Madikizela-Mandela, said this week in London that she is to travel to SA in September and offered an interview to the truth commission.

Nicholson, who has power of attorney for Cebekhulu, said that during her visit she “will have tiome to speak [to the TRC] on behalf of Cebekhulu.

It is believed Cebekhulu possesses information on the kidnapping and murder of teen activist Stompie Seipei that could be damaging to Madikizela-Mandela. TRC investigations chief recently travelled to London in an unsuccessful attempt to meet Cebekhulu.
