The reopened inquest into the death of former ANC president Chief Albert Luthuli resumes in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg on Monday morning.

The Luthuli family wants the court to overturn the findings of the original inquest that his death was an accident. The anti-apartheid activist died in 1967 after a train allegedly hit him in Groutville.

The ANC and the Luthuli family have been disputing the findings, saying the apartheid government murdered him to silence him.
