# The reopened inquest into the death of anti-apartheid activist and Nobel Peace laureate, Chief Albert Luthuli, and anti-apartheid lawyer, Griffiths Mxenge, begins in the High Court in Pietermaritzburg today. A 1967 inquest ruled that Luthuli was walking on a railway line when he was struck by a train and died after fracturing his skull. Mxenge was stabbed to death in 1981. ANC KwaZulu-Natal provincial convenor, Jeff Radebe, says the inquest represents a long-overdue step towards justice and accountability:
