description: An ANC activist who was shot dead by MK operatives at his home in Pietermaritzburg on 20 May 1984. The instruction for the killing had come from a senior operative in MK’s Swaziland structures who believed Mr Langa to be a police informer. This turned out to be misinformation possibly planted by a state agent. One MK operative was granted amnesty (AC/2000/157).
