The remains of two South African youths were exhumed on Tuesday, nearly 25 years after they went missing in an apartheid-era disappearance linked to Nelson Mandela’s former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
Forensic teams uncovered the skeletons believed to be of Corlett “Lolo” Sono, 21, and Siboniso Anthony Shabalala, 19, in a Soweto cemetery.
