Crime fighting unit, the Hawks is offering a reward of up to R450 000 for information that could lead to the arrest of those linked to political killings in KZN.
Hangwani Mulaudzi says so far, they've arrested about 35 suspects in connection with 10 murder cases believed to be politically motivated.
Officers confirmed yesterday that one of the suspects involved in the killing of former ANC Youth League secretary general Sindiso Magaqa was gunned down by police near Harding earlier this month.

Jabulani Mdunge had been part of a gang of 10 robbers who were allegedly about to hit a cash-in-transit vehicle when they were caught by police on the N2 in southern KZN.
"Two weeks ago, there was a shootout between police and some gang. Four suspects were shot dead. There are two people seen in that shootout - that's one of them. The identikit confirmed this is the person that we're looking for," he says.
Officers are still searching for the second suspect in connection with Magaqa's death. The Umzimkhulu councillor and two others were shot in July.
