PRESIDENT Nelson Mandela was snubbed on Friday by traditional chiefs he had invited to a meeting in this rural KwaZulu-Natal stronghold of the Zulu-nationalist Inkatha Freedom Party. Only two of the 11 chiefs of the Ohkahlamba tribal authority, both members of Mandela’s African National Congress, arrived for the meeting — part of the ANC bid to woo the support of powerful traditional chiefs who hold sway over more than 15 million people in rural areas. An ANC member of the KwaZulu-Natal legislature Zibuse Mlaba said the other nine chiefs had been told by the IFP not to attend the gathering, scheduled to discuss development in the poverty-stricken rural Drakensberg area of KwaZulu-Natal.
