ANC condemns shooting of three KZN party councillors
Durban – The ANC has condemned the shooting of three of its councillors, including former ANC Youth League secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa, in Umzimkhulu, south of KwaZulu-Natal on Thursday night.
Magaqa, Umzimkhulu’s Ward 11 councillor Nonsikelelo Mafa and Ward 16 councillor Jabu Mzizi were returning from an ANC regional meeting when they were shot. They are currently in hospital.
Umzimkhulu falls under the party’s Harry Gwala Region, which is going to its regional conference soon.
Three ANC councillors were shot dead between April and May this year in the same region.
ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa told News24 on Friday that "the act was barbaric".
