EFF provincial chairperson in KZN Vusi Khoza says he hopes the killing of an aspiring candidate in ward 20 in Msunduzi, Thulani Shangase, was not related to the political intolerance experienced in the area but is awaiting confirmation from the police.
“We can’t say that this killing has anything to do with politics. Nonetheless, we want the police to act swiftly so that the perpetrators can be apprehended so we can get to the bottom of the matter and why he was so brutally killed,” Khoza said.
National police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo said that a 72-hour activation plan involving a specialised unit had been mobilised to hunt down the suspects. “Sometimes, you may find people who have their own personal differences, but then they wait for the right time to kill their opponents. So, in this case, anyone who dies while the country is gearing for an election, then that person is assumed to have died because of political reasons, even if that is not the case.
“Until the police and security forces tell us exactly what happened, there will always be speculation, and those speculations will be linked to the upcoming local government elections,” Mngomezulu said.
