description: Was attacked with pangas and knives by named IFP supporters at her home in Nyandezulu, near Port Shepstone, Natal, on 8 March 1991. The perpetrators were looking for her uncle, an ANC supporter. Other family members were also severely injured and killed. Political conflict led to the introduction of defence patrol groups by both parties, but ultimately these groups were themselves implicated in attacks. The perpetrators were sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment.
