The families of the 18 victims shot dead in Ngobozana village in Lusikisiki at the weekend are too terrified to return there – even for their funerals.

Lonwabo Sinqina, who is spokesperson for the Sinqina family, said: “Nobody is safe here, not even the dead. We are planning to exhume all these graves and demolish or sell the houses. Twenty people have been shot dead here.”
