Mangosuthu Buthelezi, controversial Zulu figure and South African politician, dies at 95

Buthelezi founded the Inkatha Freedom Party and served as first Minister of Home Affairs after apartheid.
He was a hereditary Zulu chief who advocated for regional powers and transitioned South Africa to democracy.
Buthelezi had a complex legacy due to collaboration with apartheid government and clashes with ANC.
He played a key role in the country's transition but was criticized for repression and pre-election violence.
Buthelezi remained active in politics and Zulu affairs until his death at age 95.
