'Winnie didn't kill Stompie Seipei' – Vytjie Mentor
Former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor told the congregation at St George's Cathedral in Cape Town on Thursday that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was not responsible for Stompie Seipei's death.
Mentor's declaration comes after people took to social media soon after her death at the age of 81 on Monday to accuse Madikizela-Mandela of murdering the 14-year-old boy in 1989.
Madikizela-Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, often referred to as "Mother of the Nation".
"Not the court of law, not the TRC could link Winnie to the orchestration of Stompie's execution," said Mentor.
"It is a lie and a fabrication by the National Party."
