The Gauteng Premier and Bheki Cele were visiting the home of Pretoria ward 22 councillor Tshepo Motaung, who was killed by assassins.
“In fact, on my way here I was told that three councillors are not staying at their homes. They have now moved out of their homes because they feel they could be attacked and killed.“We would like this matter and all these killings to be dealt with in the same fashion that the national team from the police got into KwaZulu-Natal when there were political killings,” Makhura said.
"In the past two months these incidents have risen to a new level," said Makhura, who also referenced the killing of another political figure in Mamelodi during a ward 15 ANC councillor nomination process last month. He said, without revealing too much, that he was satisfied and convinced that the police could make some arrests even before the funeral on Saturday.
