Blose's death last month at a tavern in Inchanga led to protests and unrest in the area with some homes being torched.


She had been a witness in the January murder of her comrade, Philip Dlamini who was killed in January during a party meeting in Inchanga.


Her funeral was held in Inchanga on Sunday.


ANC Youth League member, Xolani Ngcobo was killed within hours of her death.


Last week, former eThekwini Mayor James Nxumalo said the unrest is a result of the ANC not listening to communities while, the SACP's Thulas Nxesi slammed the ruling party for infighting.

 

The ANC last week condemned the violence and expressed its commitment to peace and stability in the area.


Four suspects, two of whom were arrested at the weekend, appeared in the Camperdown Magistrate's Court yesterday and will apply for bail later this month.


Blose's 19-year-old daughter Nomfundo, teared up while speaking outside the courthouse.


"I'm heartbroken because they (the accused) seem to show no remorse - they're still laughing and smiling - showing they're not sorry for what they've done. I don't want them to get bail because what they've done - leaving me to raise my two-year-old sibling when I'm not even 20-years-old myself. It breaks my heart," she said.


Speaking outside court yesterday, the Hawks’ Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo said more arrests were imminent.


SACP supporters gathered outside court yesterday during court proceedings - watch below.
