As the IFP mourners were about to leave, they noticed ANC youths grouping around the only save exit route. These mourners then decided to use the other exit route from Tigane, which leads through the predominantly ANC supporting area.

04/05/93 SEBOKENG -The house of Mr Paul Msibi was attacked and set alight by alleged gangsters (possible ANC youths, but denied by ANC and Civics). Miss Mapule Msibi was shot and killed in the attack. Hereafter the house, with Miss Msibi still inside, was set alight and Mrs Thakane Msibi sustained third-degree burn wounds.

It is alleged that the reason for the attack is because Miss Msibi was romantically involved with a resident of the predominantly IFP supporting KwaMadala hostel.

Tension arose after Miss Msibi recently visited her boyfriend for a short while at the KwaMadala hostel. When she returned, these youths abducted her and held her hostage for several days to question her about why she had gone to the hostel.

Miss Msibi again visited the hostel and returned to Sebokeng after the funeral of 19 persons killed on 19/04/91 at Sebokeng.

These youths, suspecting her of complicity in the killings returned to the Msibi house and demanded that she be handed over.

It has also been reported that Mr Msibi is sought in question with the killing of three youths and the injuring of four others, who were allegedly involved in the attack on Mr Msibi's house.
