KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala says no election is worth the blood of innocent people.
He was speaking after the murder of three women outside an ANC branch meeting in Inanda, north of Durban.
At a media briefing on Sunday Zikalala said: “The reports we are receiving are that the three innocent women met their untimely death while participating in an internal party democratic activity in preparation for the upcoming elections. “We call upon the community to unite and work with the police to expose those who seem to believe winning an election or becoming a candidate must happen at all costs, even if it means jumping over the corpses of innocent people,” he said.
“The violent incidents are worrying as they happen when people are supposed to exercise their democratic rights as enshrined in the constitution.
