Addressing journalists in Durban today, Dube-Ncube said these attacks must come to an end.

"After so many people losing their lives, we do not still see proper arrests. We haven't even seen successful prosecutions because there might be other matters in court. We want to see people being put behind bars so that we put a stop to the killings of our people," she said.
