The eThekwini mayor and KZN MEC for Cogta have called for the police to leave no stone unturned to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.
Police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele said a case of murder is being investigated after the councillor was gunned down at 6pm on Tuesday.
eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda and KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Sipho Hlomuka have condemned the “brutal murder” of eThekwini ward 84 councillor Bheki Phungula. “The loss of yet another foot soldier leaves a void in the sphere of local government in our province. An attack on councillors by forces that are hell-bent on undermining the democratic institution of local government within our province will never be tolerated. We, therefore, call upon the law enforcement agencies to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to find the perpetrators of this cowardly act so that they can face the full might of the law,” said Hlomuka.
