The IFP wants authorities to leave no stone unturned in their investigations.
The party's Blessed Gwala says they want the task team established by the Premier to probe the incident.
"We call on our people to restrain and give information where possible which will lead to the arrest of the people responsible for the killing. We'll need the task team to be extended to other political parties as well because this task team which was appointed by the Premier will be using the state resources in operating and investigating this matter," he said.
Gwala says Nkosi was going to stand as a PR councillor in the upcoming local government elections on August 3.
He says party officials have already visited his family. Police are investigating a case of culpable homicide.
