The Natal Midlands was ravaged by conflict in the 1980s and 1990s between
supporters of the United Democratic Front and Inkatha. The violence left
thousands of people dead, injured, homeless and emotionally wounded. This
book provides a historical study of the origins, causes and nature of political
violence in the rural community of KwaShange in the Vulindlela district. This
was one of the areas most affected by the political violence in the Natal
Midlands, but it has been the subject of only patchy and partial investigation.
Mxolisi Mchunu threads individual and local factors with regional and
national forces and, through a local study, explains to great effect the
political violence that rocked parts of Natal in that period. The account offers
the testimony of survivors and the effect of the violence on community
members in the ensuing years. One central contention is that the influence of
the violence was transmitted across generations and sexes, through whole
families and communities. Mchunu tells a story of ordinary people caught up
in the cycle of revenge and despair in the killing fields of the Natal Midlands.
