South Africa’s intelligence services had a meeting to discuss political killings in KwaZulu-Natal. Participants claimed that the services remained too weak to halt the ongoing violence in the province, according to EWN.
A multi-party committee was established on Monday to assess the phenomenon of political assassinations before the 2024 general elections.
‘We need to have a strong intelligence in our province because no one wakes up in the morning and decides to kill someone – people plot and plan things’, said ActionSA’s Zwakele Mncwango.
The Democratic Alliance’s Sthembiso Ngema shared his sentiments. ‘We are saying equip SAPS members and Crime Intelligence so that they can be able to curb down the killings of the politicians’.
Meanwhile, the Inkatha Freedom Party’s Mdu Nkosi said the country’s intelligence services needed to sound off the warning bells. ‘They must try by all means to up their game because before a politician is killed, Crime Intelligence is supposed to get that information’.
