KZN political killings: 161 arrests made so far as crackdown continues, says Cele | BraGrobbies
In addition, a number of firearms and ammunition had been confiscated, Cele said.
Cele said 77 case dockets not related to the task team's mandate, but that have been linked with politically related cases, were taken over by the task team for parallel investigations.Out of the 77 registered cases, 56 are already before the court while 21 are still under investigation. Cele said it was imperative to make it clear that the task team was investigating political killings in KwaZulu-Natal, where politicians have been killed.
"Unfortunately this has been misconstrued as being meddling in political factionalism of political parties using State apparatus. It must be emphasised that the investigation and subsequently prosecutions of these cases are done in accordance with the rule of law and ideas enshrined in our Constitution," Cele said.
