Investigations are underway into the matter. Kaunda says people are often too quick to blame politics. 

"People should not put politics in something that does not require politics. We can't declare that 'the ANC is killing its own people," he says.

Kaunda has been responding to media reports and claims by the DA linking councillors' deaths in the province to factionalism within the ANC.  

In the latest killing, 34-year-old Kwazi Mkhize was shot on Wednesday night. This was moments after he had left a community hall meeting in Mkhambathini Municipality near Camperdown.
