The party described the pair as social activists who stood up for marginalised communities.

Forty-nine-year-old Mngadi’s service to the organisation spanned various roles.

She worked at the Dumisani Makhaye Branch as the ANC deputy secretary and previously served as the Women's League's Deputy Secretary in Ndwedwe.

Meanwhile, the party said in a statement that it's very concerned about the numerous public representatives in the region who have received death threats. 

The murders are being investigated.
