SUMMARY

The ANC - 'Reds' (African National Congress - 'Reds' faction) originated from a conflict that broke out within ANC supporters in Bhambayi, north of Durban in December 1992. In this informal squatter settlement, the ANC broke up in two factions, of which the 'Reds' faction was the largest. The ANC was the most powerful and prominent anti-apartheid movement to emerge in response to South Africa's policy of 'apartheid' (i.e. racial separation). For more information on the ANC, see the actor description in the UCDP database.

According to some sources, the two factions identified themselves with one of two competing witch-doctors. Due to limited information, it is unclear who the witchdoctors exactly were and what role they played.

ANC - 'Reds'has been involved in the non-state category of UCDP organised violence.
