Body of MK leader found

The body of an MK Veterans leader who went missing after swimming at Inanda Dam in KwaZulu-Natal was found after an eight-day search.

The body of regional chairperson of the Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association, Nduduzo “Sticks” Mdletshe, (40) was found yesterday, the Mercury reported.

Mdletshe was presumed to have drowned after spending time on a boat and swimming with friends on January 6.

Mdletshe made headlines last year when he lay on the road leading to President Jacob Zuma’s home when DA leader Helen Zille attempted to inspect it.

Colonel Vincent Mdunge confirmed that police search and rescue divers had found Mdletshe’s body under water, in the middle of the dam.

Police had opened an inquest docket.
