Kaiser Matanzima (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) Kaiser Daliwonga Matanzima (June 15 1915 - June 15 2003) was a former leader of the then-bantustan of Transkei in South Africa; besides various formal titles he held, he is often thought of as Chief Matanzima, reflecting a title traditional with his ethnic group. Initially studying to become a missionary, Matanzima gained a degree in Roman Law and Political Science at the University of South Africa in 1939, and his Law degree in 1948. Matanzima's support of the Bantu Act (which led to the establishment of the bantustans) soured the friendship between him and Mandela; they were also rivals for the affections of Winnie Madikizela. publicliterature.org.cob-web.org:8888 /en/wikipedia/k/ka/kaiser_matanzima.html   (523 words)

The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Apartheid: Making a Sham of Freedom Their power base is consolidated by free use of Proclamation 400, a security measure that allows the bantustan government unlimited power to suppress civil liberties and opposition parties.

Winnie and Mandela Madizikela-Mandela's attempt to introduce Kaiser Matanzima into the proceedings raised the relationship between tribal custom and the laws of a modern, industrial state. Ishmael Semenya, counsel for Winnie Madikizela- Mandela (as she now wishes to be known) faced an almost impossible task in his conduct of the defence and it was mirrored in the increasingly desperate smiles with which he met the president's rejoinders to his questions.
