Nelson Mandela’s tribal chief declares secession from South Africa
22nd January 2010
I wonder whether he could be persuaded to take Mandela with him.
Well, we can hope.
The move by Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo, King of the Thembu tribe, follows his conviction for multiple crimes including culpable homicide, kidnapping and arson, and a 15-year prison sentence. He was convicted of the offences last year but is appealing and has been granted bail in the meantime.
Yeah, I can see how that would sour relations somewhat.
