1993 Conflict Archive
Comment on Activity: The main period in which the violence between the ANC - 'Greens' Faction and the ANC - 'Reds' Faction occurred were the first three months of 1993. During this period, there was a pattern of tit for tat violence, triggered by a conflict about Muti, the root and herbs that are said to create a magic potion that allow bullets to pass through a body without creating injuries. In May 1993 the 'Greens' made approaches to the IFP (Inkatha Freedom Party) and people living in the 'Greens' zone started identifying themselves with the latter group. In August 1993 an IFP local branch was launched. From that time onwards the 'Greens' are considered to have been incorporated in the IFP, and the conflict continued between the IFP and ANC.
Comment on Yearly Battle Related Deaths: The violence was geographically limited to the Amaoti and Bhambayi squatter camps in the greater Durban area in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
Terminated: NO
