"Khwezi" to be laid to rest in Durban today
Updated | By Anelisa Kubheka
The woman who accused President Jacob Zuma of rape in 2005, will be laid to rest in Durban today.
Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo died last Saturday.
Family spokesperson, Katlego Mogase, was last night unable to say where Kuzwayo's funeral service would be held, only confirming that she will be buried at Stellawood Cemetery at noon.
Kuzwayo was the daughter of Judson Kuzwayo, an ANC stalwart who had spent 10 years as a Robben Island prisoner with his friend and comrade, Jacob Zuma.
In 2005 she claimed Zuma raped her, while visiting his Johannesburg home. Zuma claimed that the sex was consensual.
During the rape trial, Kuzwayo was referred to as "Khwezi", to protect her identity.
After Zuma's acquittal she left the country after receiving death threats from Zuma supporters. Her mother's house was torched.
