About This Attraction
In August 1985, a group of angry mourners from Victoria Mxenge’s funeral went on rampage, attacking government buildings and burning down the homes of community councillors and the local community Centre. At least four schools, a butchery, beerhall and shopping complex were destroyed in arson attacks. Homes belonging to policemen were also stoned or set alight.
Police fired on the crowd, killing 28 people.
