Buthelezi, Mangosuthu
South African Politician
(27.08.1928 Mahlabathini/South Africa)
Buthelezi was playing a major role as a prime minister of the 'independent' homeland KwaZulu as well as the leader of the Zulu-movement Inkatha in South Africas struggle to get rid of the apartheid regime. This role might not have been as spectacular as the role of Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress ANC, but certainly contributed substantially. Since 1994 Buthelezi is serving as minister of home affairs in the South African government.
