Canada Border Services Agency

Victor Vinnetou: The name the man goes by, Victor Vinnetou, has apparently been proven to be a fake — so, who is he Canada Border Services Agency officials have tried to find out more about the man, who is scheduled for another detention hearing tomorrow, according to CBC. The agency has consulted governments and police forces globally about the man, who first came to Canada in 1988 and has been held since 2004. The case has been complicated by questions about identity, including the possibility that the mystery man is an anti-apartheid activist made famous by a photo that resonated around the world. A few years ago it assigned an investigator to the case, and that when the theory emerged that Victor Vinnetou might be a long-lost South African hero named Mbuyisa Makhubu. The boy had been shot by police. Makhubu was the young teenager who in 1976 ran from the Soweto uprisings carrying the dying child Hector Pieterson. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
