Uptick in KZN political killings worry Cele
Concerns have been raised that there could be a possible resurgence of political killings in KwaZulu-Natal after Minister of Police Bheki Cele announced they were investigating eight possible instances of politically-related deaths.
He was speaking in Umlazi at the home of slain ward 84 councillor Bhekithemba Phungula, who was also an ANC branch chairperson. He added: “We hope to stop this with immediate effect. To stop this, would be to find out who did it, and why they did it.” He said they hoped to get information from the Umlazi community about who could possibly have killed Phungula.
