MANDLEKAHISE JOSESPH MKHIZE
Yes there were serious problems at mid Ndlovo because there were wars that were going on, people were fighting White farmers in the neighbouring areas.  It was actually people who were living, residing inside those farms so they would launch attacks at us in tribal areas.  When we went to report such matters the police would take no notice of the people who were being killed.  That started around 1975, 1976.  People from Lupapa were attacked and they were driven out of the area but the police did not take an action, they did not arrest those perpetrators.  The area Umgugamisa was also attacked.  People from Tamele were also attacked.  A few of them remained near Mr Delongo's area.  It was just a few of us remaining.  After a while those people from the farms returned and they resided in the area.  At that time I was no longer residing at Empangesi but Umbumbulu.  I was then living with Mr Sepo Mkhize's group because of the violence that went on in the area and also for the fact that no one was being apprehended for those acts and the police were clearly aligning themselves with the perpetrators.
