Albert Luthuli's reinstatement as inkosi on the agenda

A request from the Luthuli family for his reinstatement was tabled at the legislature by the MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, yesterday.

Chief Luthuli, Nelson Mandela, and other ANC leaders planned many actions, notably the Defiance Campaign of 1952, to demonstrate their opposition to apartheid legislation. He was deemed a terrorist by the then-government, and his appointment as chief was terminated.

After losing his title, he was subjected to a series of banning orders, which eventually limited his movements to Groutville.

Despite the revocation of his title by the then-government, he was nevertheless referred to as Chief Luthuli by local and foreign populations alike.
