South African prosecutors have reopened an inquest into the apartheid-era death of Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Luthuli, 58 years after the government declared he was accidentally killed when a train struck him.

At the time in 1967, Mr Luthuli led the African National Congress (ANC), which became South Africa’s ruling party at the end of white minority rule in 1994.
