TWO former Self Defence Unit member, accused of murdering nine residents of Katlehong on the East Rand six years ago, were convicted in the Johannesburg High Court on Monday. Siviwe Ngama and Michael Armoed were on Monday each found guilty of kidnapping members of the African National Congress Youth League and taking them to shacks on the outskirts of the township, before killing them at dawn on December 7, 1993. They were also found guilty of unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. Their conviction brings to three the number of men found guilty of the murders in Katlehong’s Moleleki section in December 1993, when East Rand factions aligned to the ANC accused each other of fomenting lawlessness in the community. The violent fallout culminated in what became known as the Katlehong massacre, which claimed the lives of 11 people.
