Buthelezi pays tribute to the late Dr Mtshali
IFP leader, Mangosuthu Buthelezi says many leaders of today should take a leaf out of former KwaZulu-Natal Premier Lionel Mtshali's book.
He says Mtshali refused to be roped into corruption.
Mtshali, who served as Premier from 1994 to 2004 and was also a national minister in Thabo Mbeki's cabinet, passed away on Sunday.
Buthelezi and members of the KZN Legislature visited his home in Clermont today.
"In our country there's a lot of corruption. Even this morning I saw headlines about corruption cases which involve people in authority.
"It's good for young people to get inspired to know that people can be in charge of important positions without being corrupt, that people can be served without corruption.
"Dr Mtshali was a very exemplary leader," he said.
The 80-year-old will be laid to rest on Saturday.
