Another ANC KZN member brutally killed
The ANC in KZN has expressed shock after another of its member has been shot and killed in Newcastle.
According to the party ward candidate Thembi Mbongo of ward 6, outside Osizweni, was shot dead by two unknown men while in her home in full view of her husband and children. It is not clear why they targeted the 35-year-old.
The party's Mdumiseni Ntuli says the men came to her home and requested to speak to her before shooting her.
Ntuli says this now brings to around 11 the number of its members who have been killed in the past 2 months alone.
"We have appointed a team of the Provincial Executive Committee which is working particularly in the Emalahleni region to try and understand the state of the ANC and whether or not the conditions within the ANC give rise to the possibility of comrades being killed by other comrades," he said.
"We will then understand by the time we end that investigation whether or not internal dynamics and tensions within the ANC are impacting or are as a result of the killing of our comrades," Ntuli said.
