AGE OF THE ASSASSIN: Third Abahlali baseMjondolo leader – Lindokuhle Mnguni – murdered in cold blood

“In the early hours of this morning, Lindokuhle Mnguni, the chairperson of the eKhenana Commune and the Youth League, was assassinated at the commune. Mnguni was a powerful intellectual with a mind like a razor.

CCTV footage shows the gunmen entering the commune in the early hours of Saturday morning and breaking Mnguni’s window with a spade before shooting at him and his girlfriend. Mnguni died on the scene. His girlfriend survived, but is in critical condition in hospital. Neighbours say they saw two men leaving the commune right after the shooting.“It was around 1.30am when I was sleeping and heard a breaking window and gunshots.

“It is clear that this is a continuous attack and repression on the people of eKhenana because the very people who were seen are the very people who killed Ayanda Ngila in March this year. We have no hope and no trust in the justice system in this country, particularly the police, who we had to go and fetch to come to the scene and open a case.

Lindokuhle Mnguni was arrested and detained for six months in 2021. He was later released when the charges against him, Ayanda Ngila and Landu Tshazi were dropped. In January 2022, Mnguni, Ngila and Tshazi were arrested again, together with Maphiwe Gasela, only to be released over a month later. “Abahlali’s struggle for land, housing and basic services in eThekwini is waged at a heavy cost. Mnguni and other leaders killed in eKhenana have been fighting for a right to live in the city, for access to land and to live with dignity. For them to be killed for such a cause is evidence of a land crisis that the state has failed to address.“They will know that their strategy to keep us behind bars is not working and the only choice they will be left with is to kill us, but we won’t stop.
