description: She lost her home in Katlehong, Transvaal, in an arson attack on 25 May 1993. She was later stabbed and injured while seeking shelter elsewhere in Katlehong. Ms Madliwa`s home was reportedly attacked by IFP supporters because she is Xhosa-speaking and was assumed to be an ANC supporter. At least six houses in the vicinity were burnt that day, days after an ANC march past a Tokoza hostel precipitated a dramatic escalation of conflict on the East Rand resulting in at least eighty deaths over the following weeks.
