23/05/93 KATLEHONG / PHOLA PARK -
IFP Branch Secretary, Mrs Julia Mtshali, (173 Zuma Section) was kidnapped by alleged ANC supporters.
Mrs Mtshali's remains were recovered in Phola Park on Thursday, May 27 1993. Mrs Mtshali had been
necklaced.
The IFP was alerted to the whereabouts of the remains of Mrs Mtshali, by reading a newspaper article in
'The Star" on May 25 1993, which included a photograph of the necklacing and stated that "The men in
the crowd grinned as they explained that the woman - believed to be an Inkatha office-bearer from Kwesine
Section - had been kidnapped from the nearby hostel, dragged back to the squatter camp and murdered".
Further on the article states, "A young man took a spear, poked the flaming body, and put the flesh in a cup.
"Muti", he explained with a shrug."
The IFP leadership in the area, who at this stage were still searching for Mrs Mtshali, was highly disturbed
in the method of notification of Mrs Mtshali’s death. In the search for Mrs Mtshali's remains, the IFP had to
contact the journalist, Ms Bronwyn Wilkinson, to ascertain where the photograph of Mrs Mtshali was taken.

IFP Treasurer, Mr Ndabazini Nzama, was shot and killed by members of the Internal Stability Unit. Mr
Nzama refused these persons entry into his house, as they were unable to sufficiently identify themselves
as bona fide SAP members. Residents in the area are extremely wary about opening their doors to
strangers, particularly after nightfall, because they fear attack by assailants wearing security force uniforms.
After receiving no response, the ISU patrol kicked the door down and without warning, opened fire, killing
Mr Nzama instantly, and seriously wounding his son, Oswell. They allegedly proceeded to ransack Mr
Nzama s house and an undisclosed sum of cash and licensed firearms were removed.
The ISU patrol reported the incident to the Ndwedwe police station only after the attack occurred and
claimed they had discovered tow AK-47 assault rifles in Nzama's yard (neither of which were produced or
seen by Ndwedwe police). They justified the killing of Mr Nzama by claiming he had "offered violent
resistance". Yet upon arriving at the scene, members of the KwaZulu Police found 150 empty R5 and R1
