http://newtelegraphonline.com/safricas-king-dalindyebo-goes-jail/

A South African king who is a nephew of the late Nelson Mandela has begun a 12-year prison sentence for kidnapping, assault and arson.

King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo reported to prison after his legal attempts to overturn his conviction failed.
The case against King Dalindyebo was related to a dispute he had with some of his subjects about two decades ago.
He comes from the Thembu clan, to which Mandela, South Africa’s first black president, belonged.
He is the first monarch to be jailed in South Africa since minority rule ended in 1994.
