Political killings in KZN continue, strongly condemned
A prominent African National Congress (ANC) activist and a municipal councillor from the Inkhata Freedom Party were gunned down in separate incidents in Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN) on Friday.
The attacks have again highlighted the ongoing political violence in the region and have been strongly condemned.
Police spokesperson, Captain Nqobile Gwala, said the first incident occurred at 18:40 on the R66 King Dinuzulu Highway in Ulundi.
She said a 35-year-old man, later identified as IFP councillor, Sibuyiselo Dlamini, had been at a robot intersection when his vehicle was blocked by unknown assailants, who then opened fire on him.
"He sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was declared dead at the scene," she said.
