Farewell Buthelezi, Hogarth will miss our fights

Hogarth would like to bid a fond farewell to one of his age mates, Inkosi Mangosuthu Buthelezi. It would be a stretch on Hogarth's part to claim the late IFP leader as a friend, but he knows him to have been a regular reader and a consistent complainant against this column. The editor of the Sunday Times tells a story of how, in one interview, Buthelezi spent more than 30 minutes complaining about "two gentlemen" — Hogarth and one Mondli Makhanya.
