Age

Description
Was beaten by Imbokodo vigilantes on 1 January 1986 in Moutse, KwaNdebele. At Siyabuswa community hall Mr Rashilo and others were put in a room where the floor had been deliberately soaped to make it slippery and were then sjambokked and beaten where they fell. Between 200 and 360 individuals were abducted and assaulted for about 36 hours. The attacks, led by named Kwa-Ndebele government officials, were designed to suppress resistance to incorporation into KwaNdebele.
