KHALA, Nophakamile

Age 36

Description
Was shot and injured in Tokoza, Transvaal, on 8 April 1992. Ms Nophakamile was one of more than one hundred Phola Park residents including women and teenagers who were assaulted by members of the SADF 32 Battalion after a member of the SADF was shot and injured in Phola Park. Two women were shot dead and at least four raped during the attack. An investigation by Justice Goldstone concluded that the soldiers had acted in a manner ‘completely inconsistent with the function of a peacekeeping force’ and recommended their removal from South Africa’s townships.
