A convicted king in South
Africa should be given clemency by President Jacob Zuma or preferential
treatment in prison, an influential traditional leaders body has said, the
local News24 site reports. King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo - a monarch of Nelson
Mandela's Thembu ethnic group - is due to report to police on Wednesday to
start a 12-year jail sentence after a court convicted him of kidnapping,
assault and arson.
