Umbumbulu massacre

Explanation
Between 24 December 1985 and 3 January 1986, Inkatha supporters attacked Pondos resident in the KwaMakhutha and Umbumbulu areas of KwaZulu, outside Durban. Pondos were perceived to be supportive of the UDF. Approximately 63 people died and thousands were forced to flee their homes. This massacre was an extension of the violence that followed the killing of UDF leader Victoria Mxenge on 1 August 1985, spreading from Umlazi to neighbouring Umbumbulu.
