Well isn’t this special:

WINNIE Madikizela-Mandela has offered to help fulfil the final wish of executed former Los Angeles gang leader Stanley “Tookie” Williams and hold his burial in South Africa.

A spokesman for the flamboyant former wife of Nelson Mandela told the Afrikaans daily newspaper Beeld that Madikizela-Mandela will “honour her promise to see that Williams is buried in South Africa.”

Williams, who was found guilty of four killings but became an anti-violence crusader on death row and an author of several books, was executed in California yesterday by lethal injection.

Quoting Williams’s former wife Bonny Williams-Taylor, the newspaper said it was the former gang leader’s wish to be buried in South Africa.

He met Ms Madikizela-Mandela in 1996 and was “very impressed” with her, Ms Williams-Taylor said.

“She had huge influence on his life and it was his wish to be buried there (in South Africa).”

From one murderer to another Winnie? Gotta stick together.

I guess the only good thing about this would be the fact his body will no longer be on US soil. He contaminated our soil long enough.
