KZN political killings: Witness intimidation part of 'enormous challenges' encountered in probe
"Enormous challenges" have been encountered in the investigation of political killings in KwaZulu-Natal, according to the inter-ministerial committee probing the latest incidents of violence in the province.
The inter-ministerial committee of ministers in the security cluster was set up by President Cyril Ramaphosa on May 14, after the murder of ANC convenor in the Moses Mabhida region, Musawenkosi Mchunu.
Mchunu was shot dead on May 11.
The ministerial task team comprises the departments of justice, police, state security and defence.
Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula revealed at a media briefing on Monday that, in their interaction with the multi-disciplinary team set up in 2016 to investigate the killings, it became "clear" that there were challenges in the process.
