Description
An ANC supporter who lost two huts in an arson attack in Pholile, Matatiele, Natal, on 30 April 1990 in intense conflict between ANC and IFP supporters in the area. Following the unbanning of political organisations, local villagers, including leading members of the community, resisted attempts by the ANC to establish branches in the Pholile and KwaMango areas of Matatiele in March and April 1990. From 27 to 30 April 1990 about 12 homes belonging to ANC supporters were burnt down by known perpetrators carrying traditional weapons.
