We need efficient crime intelligence to prevent political killings - Dlamini-Zuma
4 September 2017
Durban - The spate of political killings in KwaZulu-Natal calls for an efficient crime intelligence division, which will be able to detect threats, ANC presidential hopeful Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma told the media on Sunday.
Speaking on the sidelines on the last day of the KwaZulu-Natal ANC Women's League conference, at the Playhouse in Durban, Dlamini-Zuma expressed concern over the ongoing killings in the province, and the lack of arrests.
Her comment follows the killing of yet another ANC public representative - 34-year-old Kwazi Mkhize, councillor for Ward 3 at uMkhambathini (Camperdown), outside Pietermaritzburg - who was shot several times as he left an extended branch executive committee meeting on Wednesday night.
His killing comes in the wake of the slaying of other public office bearers and officials, especially in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
