An ANC ward councillor has been accused of the murder of two party members before last year's local government elections.
“Our freedom is threatened each time a member of the community is murdered or robbed. It is for these reasons we implore law enforcement agencies to be firm and act decisively to continue to root out rogue elements behind the killing of leaders and innocent members of society in our region,” said Mlondi Mkhize.“We will be watching this case closely up until its final stages.
“When the people of eThekwini went to the polls they voted for services such as water, electricity, housing, road infrastructure, jobs and access to economic opportunities. We will never let them down.”“We must intensify the fight against crime in all its manifestations — from the unacceptable level of murders, assaults, robberies, hijackings to domestic violence. The culture of impunity should not be tolerated in this region,” he said.
