ALFRED SIKILELE MTHEMBU
At Gengeshe violence erupted between the ANC and the IFP.  There were divisions between the two organisations.  They hated each other, therefore there was always conflict between the two organisations.  We heard while I were at home, lower Umkumazi, we heard that Poswa's son by the name of Mandlenkosi has been shot.  While we were trying to go to the place to see what happened, we were told that the Poswa family have left the area.  Only the IFP members are staying in that area.  After that we heard from the IFP that all young men should go to Indaba Zimboeza Poswa's area, who was the Induna at that time.  I was at home myself.  I said it should not only be children, why should it be children.  Is it a war or what is going on, because this is a family matter within the Poswa family.
	However, the headman said they should come.  The young men listened.  They went to the area and my son also accompanied them.  They were there to guard his family, that if ever he is attacked, they can protect him.  After that I left the area to stay in Durban, because all the people have left the area and I went to stay in Pinetown.  One particular day we listened to a radio and we heard that people have been killed at Gengeshe.  It was another ten people who were killed.  I was also listening, because I did not know whether my son was involved.  We were listening, on the second day they mentioned my son's name, that he died on that particular violence.  That his name was Dumisani Mthembu.
