Was burnt to death by `comrades` on 9 June 1986 in Vlaklaagte, Moutse, KwaNdebele, because he was suspected of being a sell-out during conflict over incorporation into KwaNdebele. By the end of July, homeland officials and Imbokodo vigilantes had fled to resettle near Verena after businesses were destroyed and hundreds of people were killed or injured.
