MaMkhize
Well she, was born into and raised by a politically active family in Umbumbulu, a village near eManzimtoti. Her late parents, Sipho and Florence Mkhize were ANC activists during apartheid. Her father was killed, apparently for political reasons, allegedly by a policeman in 1991. The tragedy was followed a year later by the death of her brother, Sbu Mkhize when he was killed in a shoot-out with police in Isipingo.
Her mother, Florence, was an ANC councillor in eThekwini and died in 2008. Before her death, she had started a construction company that was handed over to Shauwn and was named Zikhulise Construction.
