Sobukwe family lawyers warn PAC leader over request for inquest
Cape Times
|December 11, 2025
PAN African Congress of Azania (PAC) president and Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Mzwanele Nyhontso has been served with a legal letter to withdraw his request to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for the investigation into the death of the party’s founding president, Robert Sobukwe.
Mzwanele Nyhontso
Law firm Mgxaji Incorporated wrote to Nyhontso on December 5 after being approached by Sobukwe's only surviving child, Meliswa Sobukwe.
The letter, which Meliswa admitted knowing, states that the Sobukwe family was disheartened to learn through the media that Nyhontso had initiated the inquest process by contacting the NPA.
“To the family, this unfortunate mishap reflects a complete neglect on your (Nyhontso) part for their inner feelings, given their traumatic experience perpetrated by the white supremacists’ orchestrated murder of the late Mr R. M. Sobukwe and the ever-fes-tering wounds resulting therefrom,” read the letter.
Sobukwe died at the age of 53 on February 27, 1978, after suffering from lung cancer.
