ANC secretaries from national, provincial and regional structures are expected to meet on Tuesday to discuss a spate of political killings and violence in the party.
The party has been rocked by violence across the country with candidate councillors killed or wounded ahead of the local government elections as party members fight over leadership positions.
In Tshwane, ward councillor Tshepo Motaung was recently killed execution-style in Mabopane while travelling in a vehicle with his uncle and cousin. Motaung was shot at least 20 times.There have also been other apparent political killings and violence in the Free State and Mpumalanga. However, he said they could not say with absolute certainty these were political killings until police investigations were concluded.ANC national executive committee member Dakota Legoete
