Special Report Transcript Episode 4, Section 6, Time 24:58

The Mandela United Football Club, branded as thugs and asked to disband by Archbishop Tutu and others was implicated on all counts: abduction, assault, murder. Jerry Richardson, its coach and bodyguard to Winnie Mandela got the death sentence in August 1990 for the murder of Stompie Seipei. Winnie Mandela did not escape the law but many would say she escaped justice. In May 1991 she was convicted on four counts of kidnapping, and sentenced to six years for her role in the Stompie affair. Two years later an appeal court reduced this to a kidnapping charge. She walked away with a fine and a suspended sentence.
