Nombulelo Ndungane* still has nightmares about her boyfriend, who was killed last month in violence linked to factions at the notorious Glebelands hostel in Umlazi, outside Durban. Her boyfriend, a taxi operator, and his friend - who survived a drive-by shooting in July last year - were gunned down outside a supermarket in Montclair.Before his murder, Ndungane's boyfriend, from Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape, had received text messages that he would be "shot with 2000 bullets" and that there was a "R100000 price on his head".The troubled hostel is divided into two factions and there is a battle over control of the rooms and beds, which is believed to be linked to the deaths of 44 residents since March last year.Ndungane, 30, also from Lusikisiki, was among scores of hostel residents who received two truckloads of food parcels and hygiene hampers from the Gift of the Givers Foundation as part of its humanitarian intervention at the hostel.It is estimated 65% of the estimated 22000 people living in the hostel's 80 blocks are unemployed, but the unemployment rate within the sector of the community affected by violence is believed to be as high as 95%.However, the food hampers brought little solace to Ndungane. Now the mother of a boy who turned four on the same day his father was killed is locked in a daily battle to survive."I'm very happy for the hampers, but now the challenge I have is to get a bursary. My boyfriend was paying for my studies. Fortunately he had paid for this year, but next year I won't be able to continue unless I get a bursary," she said.Ndungane, who is studying towards a teaching qualification at Unisa, said she still did not feel safe and was even reluctant to be interviewed for fear of reprisals.Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini last month promised to visit the Glebelands and KwaMashu hostels in a bid to find a solution to the ongoing killings.* Not her real name...
