Moerane Commission hears there's lack of unity among Africans
The Moerane Commission of Inquiry has heard that the spate of political killings in KZN amounts to an ethnic war.
Testifying in his personal capacity, Professor Sihawukele Ngubane says African people had been at war with other races during apartheid.
He testified at the commission probing political violence in the province that an internal war has now erupted between the Zulu, Xhosa and Ndebele in post-apartheid South Africa.

He believes a lack of unity among Africans is why a political war is possible, saying people are attacking each other as a result of differences that could be solved through conversation.
"The return of the worse scenario of the violence came as a shock to many. Its roots are deeply political and the most unfortunate element of this instability is that it affects a single ethnic group. It is amongst the Nguni people - it does not involve other ethnic groups," he said.
