KZN MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Nomusa Dube-Ncube has expressed her condolences to the family and community of uMzimkhulu Council’s Speaker, Cllr Khaya Thobela, who was shot at in his home Thursday night. \u00a0Thobela succumbed to the multiple wounds in the early hours of the morning today.<\/p>\n

Dube-Ncube has expressed shock at this brazen attack on Thobela which led to his death and reiterated her earlier statement that the ongoing spate of violence directed at elected public representatives, traditional leaders and municipal officials in KZN’s local government institutions must stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe passing away of Cllr Thobela is a huge blow to our province\u2019s democratic system of local government.\u00a0\u00a0 It is unacceptable that yet another councillor in the province has been murdered. We are outraged, angry and shocked at the killing of the Speaker of uMzimkhulu council.\u00a0 Violence against councillors is deeply concerning.\u00a0 \u00a0We have worked very hard since to make KZN a peaceful province and we cannot allow this achievement to be reversed by criminal elements,\u201d said Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call upon the community to remain calm during this difficult time and allow the law to take its cause.\u00a0 We also call upon the leadership of the area to work together to ensure peace and stability in the area and resist any temptation to have premature conclusion\u201d; said Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n

Dube-Ncube has also urged the law enforcement agencies to apprehend those responsible for Thobela’s death and called for members of the public to assist and support the police bringing those responsible for this heinous crime to justice.<\/p>\n
