    The ongoing Truth and Reconciliation Commission
    hearings heard on Monday (November 29) from one of its most
    controversial characters so far, the coach of the notorious
    Mandela United Football Club, Jerry Vusumuzi Richardson.

    Richardson, who coached the club run by Winnie Madikizela
    Mandela during the apartheid years, is seeking amnesty for the
    abduction, torture and murder of several club members
    including Stompie Sepei, Lolo Sono and others.It is believed
    that Richardson's plea may involve him implicating
    Madikizela-Mandela.

    In his application for amnesty, Richardson mentioned a
    number of high-profile people, including Madikizela-Mandela.

    Richardson, who is already serving a life sentence,
    arrived at the hearings in leg irons.Not far behind, Winnie
    Madikizela-Mandela herself arrived surrounded by her lawyer
    and several body-guards.She went straight to where Stompie's
    family were sitting and hugged and embraced them.
