No political link yet in Bongani Mkhize's murder: ANCYL

The ANC Youth League says it's too early to say whether Bongani Mkhize's murder was politically motivated.

The 25-year-old was gunned down in V-Section on Saturday morning. Mkhize served as the league's chairperson in Ward 88 in Umlazi. 

Cousins, Mfanafuthi and Andile Zulu are facing charges of murder and the possession of an unlicensed firearm.  

The matter was adjourned until next week for a formal bail application. The youth league's Thinta Cibane attended the proceedings.

"At this point, we can't do anything about it. We are waiting for the police to complete their investigation. If it were people known to us - it would be easier to confirm whether it is or isn't.

Cibane says the suspects aren't known to them. 

"So, we will have to wait for police to finish the investigation and we will see what becomes of it," Cibane said.
