ZONDO, Thanduxolo Patrick

Age 31

Description
A member of an ANC-aligned self-defence unit who was shot dead by IFP supporters in Pioneer Park, near Orlando East, Soweto, Johannesburg, on 26 July 1993 while trying to save people trapped in a burning shack. Many hostel-dwellers who refused to become IFP members sought refuge in nearby informal settlements but they retained their cultural and political links with the IFP which resulted in conflict within these settlements.
