This came after the Tembisa Ten killings of ten teenagers who died after using drugs sold by the Khozas. Sixteen and Kop were seeking revenge at the Khozas' door.

Before they knew it there was an angry mob outside.

As smoke loomed in the air, MaBongi found herself running aimlessly, as she tried to find a safe place to hide for her and baby Mzi.
