Pioneer diplomat and struggle stalwart George Nene, who died last week, will be buried in Soweto on Friday. He was the envoy to Nigeria and then the representative to the UN based in Geneva. Nene, whose death was overshadowed by that of struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, was one of South Africa's first top diplomats to be deployed to the United Nations when the country transitioned to democracy.
