Interesting add to the Tembu's Tribe

Walter Sisulu was a founder member of the African National
Congress Youth League and Secretary-General of the ANC from 1949
to 1954. Alfred Xuma, who like Sisu lu , was born in the Engcobo
district was President-General of the organisation from 1940 to
1949. The nationa l organiser of the ANC in the mid-1950s was
Enoch Ka Tshunungwa, a member of the Thembu royal house. He was
arrested in 1956 and during his trial he found himself at odds
with the ANC and more in sympathy with the emerging Pan African
Congress. Following his aquittal in the Treason Trail in 1961 he
became an aide to Matanzima and eventually member of the
Transkeian. Parliament. (See T. Karis and G. Carter: From
Protest to Challenge, pp.143, 160, 164 ). The best-known of these
leaders is Nelson Mandela, who was born into the royal Thembu
household. In 1930, after the death of his father, he became
ward of his cousin, David Dalindyebo, then paramount chief of
Thembuland. He was trained to become a chief, but when he
reached the acquired age, he was no longer prepared to have a
position of authority over an oppressed people. Mandela's long
association with the African National Congres, his arrest and
trial and his influence, f rom prison, on South African politi cs
is now history.
