 With regard to the actual murder of Seipei, the Commission found Mandela "negligent in that she failed to act responsibly in taking the necessary action required to avert his death".In February 1989, Abu Asvat, a prominent Soweto doctor,, who had examined Seipei after his abduction, was shot dead at his medical practice.Winnie Mandela's alleged role in Asvat's killing was later probed as part of the TRC hearings, after Asvat's murderers as well as her associate, Katiza Cebekhulu implicated her in the murder of Asvat, as part of a cover-up of Seipei's death.
