Mduduzi Guma ('Nkululeko')
Mduduzi Guma studied law at Ngoye and practiced as an attorney in Durban. He had joined the ANC and was steadily building up an underground network. No one suspected him even though by 1976 he was defending students caught up in protests and rebellion. He was an excellent underground worker, working with, amongst others, Lancelot Hadebe and the
extraordinary Reverend Mandla Msibi (Blackman).
Mduduzi Guma went to Swaziland as a political refugee. An avid reader of political tracts, he paid great attention to the Marxist classics and helped translate the Party programme into Zulu. He wrote for the MK journal, Dawn, under the name of Conqueror Ntswana' - choosing the pseudonym because of his implacable belief in victory. In the barbarous raid on Matola, in January 1981, Mduduzi Guma, together with Lancelot Hadebe, died when their bedroom was hit by a rocket.
