# The ANC in the Western Cape has urged the provincial government to grant former president Nelson Mandela’s bodyguard André Lincoln an official provincial funeral. Lincoln, a former uMkhonto weSizwe intelligence officer, died at home yesterday morning with the cause of death unknown. He headed the Anti-Gang Unit in the Western Cape. Spokesperson Khalid Sayed says Lincoln’s anti-apartheid efforts, leadership against corruption, and moral integrity deserve high honour. The ANC Legislature Caucus will formally request premier Alan Winde’s support.
