Inquest Hears Chief Luthuli Held Meetings At Employees Family Shack

The Pietermaritzburg High Court in KwaZulu-Natal has heard that the late former African National Congress ANC president, Chief Albert Luthuli , was sometimes assisted by the family of his employee to hold secret meetings during the liberation struggle.

This has been revealed by the employees daughter, Nozizwe kaMabaso-Mhlongo, who was testifying before the reopened inquest into Luthulis death .

Her father Stimela Mabaso worked for Luthuli at his store.

Chief Luthuli was reportedly killed after being struck by a goods train at Groutville in 1967.

However, there are doubts about the version provided by Apartheid-era police regarding his death.
