JOHANNESBURG - The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has announced it will reopen the inquests into the deaths of anti-apartheid activists Chief Albert Luthuli and Griffiths Mxenge.
Chief Albert Luthuli, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former ANC president, was killed after being struck by a train in 1967 - a version of events that has long been disputed by his family.
Griffiths Mxenge, a prominent human rights lawyer, was brutally murdered in Umlazi near Durban in 1981.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission later found that apartheid security forces were responsible for his death.
Both inquests are set to proceed concurrently at the Pietermaritzburg High Court next Monday.
