Mandela corruption case ?a political ploy?
News24
Three of those accused in the Nelson Mandela funeral scandal believe the case is being used to settle political scores.
The trio - former Eastern Cape health MEC Sindiswa Gomba, former Buffalo City mayor Zukiswa Ncitha and former council speaker Luleka Simon-Ndzele - say they want their day in court to clear their names.
Following yet another postponement of their case this week, the three told City Press from the steps of the East London Magistrates Court that they had been waiting for seven years to take the stand and put forward their side of the story, but the state was never ready to start with trial proceedings. They said the case had demonised them in society and was frustrating them personally and politically.
