The accused in the Nelson Mandela funeral scandal are expected to appear at the Bhisho High Court in the Eastern Cape for trial on Tuesday. MandelaFraud FuneralScandal
The start of the trial has been delayed by numerous applications for postponement. The accused are charged with fraud, money laundering and contravention of the Municipal Finance Management Act.
