Chief Albert Luthuli won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1960 for spearheading the fight against apartheid.

1967 inquest ruled that he was struck by a train and died after fracturing his skull.

Activists and his family have long cast doubts on the official version of events.

Luthul was leader of the then-banned African National Congress ( ANC ) at the time of his death.
