Former Ukhozi FM presenter Ngizwe Mchunu has been left shocked after his home in Mbumbulu, south of Durban, was burnt down on Sunday, 10 May.
The self-proclaimed president of Amabhinca was not at home when the incident happened.

It is alleged that unknown men arrived at the house looking for him shortly before the place went up in flames.
Ngizwe is one of the activists leading massive marches against illegal immigrants.
While the motive is still unknown, the timing has left Mzansi wondering if this is an attempt to silence him.
His friend and fellow activist, Nkosikhona Phakelumthakathi Ndaba, confirmed the incident.
“Fortunately, no one was injured, but the home and furniture were damaged. What is important is that no lives were lost,” said Phakelumthakathi.
He revealed that this is not the first attack on their members.
“This shocks us because we have learnt that two weeks ago, one of our activists, Felemntwini Gumede from Umzimkhulu, also had his home damaged,” he said.
Phakelumthakathi said they see this as a direct attack because they are fighting illegal immigration.
“We want to send a message that we know there are South Africans who are against what we do. We warn them to stop.”

“We are working peacefully and not killing or assaulting anyone, except those who are part of us, just to reprimand them.
“To those who are protecting illegal immigrants – whether government officials, police or hitmen – please stop, because you know that the nation needs our action,” he said.
