Winnie Mandela, Stompie Moeketsi & Me; My story of a notorious murder and the events that followed

Winnie Mandela, married for 38 years to South African national hero Nelson Mandela, recruited an impoverished, illiterate 16-year-old Zulu youth into her Johannesburg vigilante gang in 1988. But when Katiza Cebekhulu threatened to say publicly that he saw her kill a 14-year-old boy, Stompie Moeketsi, he was abducted by Mandela's supporters and imprisoned without charge for three years in a grim prison in Zambia. He was discovered in the Zambian prison by a British foreign correspondent who secured his release. Cebekhulu has since lived for a quarter century in England. His autobiography falls into two parts ̶ his astonishing years in Africa, mired in violence and cynical politics; and then his extraordinary experiences in the UK, where he spent months living as a down-and-out in London but learned to read and write in prison.
