Uncover the harrowing events in ‘Night of the Massacre,’ a film by Charles Khuele. Set in 1991 South Africa, it depicts a brutal attack during a mourning gathering, leading to a devastating spiral of violence and revenge in the community.

In 1991,12 January at early hours of the morning around 2am, a group of people carrying automatic rifles (AK47) stormed into a tent of mourners in Zone 7 where friends, families and neighbors were paying their last respect to the late Comrade Chris Nengalembe.

That morning 39 people died from that carnage and 6 later at the hospital, a woman was later that day neck-laced and her house burned down by a group of comrades seeking revenge.
