Luthuli Experienced Difficulties In Receiving Nobel Peace Prize

Despite African National Congress ANC leader Inkosi Albert Luthuli being under house arrest and constant surveillance by the apartheid government, he was able to hide documents in a secret basement under his house.

Luthulis daughter-in-law, Wilheminah Luthuli , testified in the Pietermaritzburg High Court yesterday that these documents were smuggled to the United States after his death.

She was testifying in the re-opened inquest into Luthulis death in 1967.

The initial inquest found that Luthuli was accidentally hit by a train, however, his family has rejected the finding.

Wilheminah Luthuli told the court that her father-in-law even had difficulty receiving his Nobel Peace Prize in Norway in 1961.
