Thombo Zibeni Shezi
Thombo Zibeni
She lost her house in an arson attack in Esimozomeni, Richmond, Natal, in May 1990, allegedly because her husband was an ANC supporter. The family fled to Pinetown, where Ms Shezi’s husband was stabbed to death at a taxi rank on 7 July 1990. Political violence in the Richmond area had caused many people to flee the area and settle in the Pinetown and Clermont areas, where some were hunted down and attacked.
