Born on 22 April 1940, Mzizi represented the IFP as a local councillor in Thokoza, a black township in the former Transvaal, during apartheid. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the township was a central venue for political violence between IFP supporters and supporters of the rival African National Congress (ANC). Mzizi's own home was burned down in a petrol-bomb attack in December 1990. During the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a local activist, Themba Xaba, applied for amnesty for his role in the attack, which he said had been planned by a local self-defence unit. Xaba told the commission that Mzizi had been targeted because he brought hardship and misery to the township's residents, who he said would have celebrated if Mzizi had been killed in the bombing.
