full_name: Susan Mosela Phehlane
firstname: Susan Mosela
description: Was brutally murdered and her body burnt, when the family store was set alight by self-defence unit (SDU) members in Brandfort, OFS, on 14 July 1991. Her two sons were also severely injured in the attack. It was alleged that Ms Phehlane, her husband, Morgan, a once respected ANC leader, and their family, were suspected of collaborating with the NP government, as they were members of the local council, and were therefore regarded as traitors and opposed to the UDF/ANC alliance. One SDU member applied for amnesty, which was granted for most aspects of the attack, but refused in respect of the stabbing of Ms Phelane’s son, Patrick (AC/1997/0043).
