Police Minister Bheki Cele says visibility at hotspot voting stations is expected to be increased in the wake of political violence ahead of the local government elections.
Cele, on Wednesday, visited the family of slain EFF ward candidate Thulani Shangase who was gunned down shortly after campaigning in Midlands, KwaZulu-Natal.
According to Cele, the almost 23 000 voting stations in the country had been profiled. He indicated that while the number of low-risk voting stations not affected by political violence is high at about 19 000, there are about 300 high-risk, or hotspot, voting stations in the country, of which the majority are in KZN.
