US EditionSouth Africa holds state funeral for Zulu leader Buthelezi
- Thousands of mourners gathered in South Africa's eastern town of Ulundi for the state funeral of veteran politician and Zulu prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who served as Minister of Home Affairs in the post-apartheid government after reconciling with his rival Nelson Mandela.
- Buthelezi's involvement in a bitter conflict between his Zulu nationalist movement, Inkatha Freedom Party , and the African National Congress led to the deaths of thousands and the displacement of hundreds of thousands. However, he eventually made peace with the ANC and participated in South Africa's first national poll in 1994.
- The state funeral was marred by some IFP supporters demonstrating residual hostility by trying to disrupt President Cyril Ramaphosa's eulogy, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the IFP and ANC.
