Court rejects Winnie Mandela appeal over fraud conviction
The South African Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal by Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and broker Addy Moolman of their 2003 fraud convictions.
Madikizela-Mandela, the fiery anti-apartheid leader and ex-wife of former President Nelson Mandela, was originally convicted on 43 counts of fraud and 25 of theft and sentenced to five years in prison with one suspended.
