Zephania
An MK operative was shot dead by IFP-aligned Toaster gang members and IFP supporters in Isando, Transvaal, on 25 June 1993. The perpetrators burnt down his house on 23 June 1993 before shooting him in the head and heart at the entrance to his workplace. After returning from exile, Mr Mathebula led the local ANC-aligned self-defence unit which aimed to counter attacks on township residents organised from the IFP-supporting Vusimuzi hostel.
