We must all come together to keep pressure on the criminals in our society who create an atmosphere of fear through the murder of local government representatives\u201d said Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask the community of Richmond in the midst of the hurt and heartache that they are all feeling in this moment, to remain calm and united and continue to work with law enforcement agencies and provide information that will lead to the arrest of those behind this dastardly deed\u201d\u00a0 Dube-Ncube added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, constituency and political party of Cllr Mkhize, the ANC, whose untimely death without a doubt has left a void in the community of Richmond,&#8221; said KZN MEC for Cogta Nomusa Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n<p>KZN Cogta is urging the law enforcement agencies to investigate the killing without delay and bring the perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a period in which together we must unite to take back the space from the criminals who want to plunge the Richmond area back to violence.\u00a0 We must never reverse the progress we have made in building a Richmond that has turned its back on violence and embraced peace\u201d added Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information contact: KZN Cogta spokesperson Lennox Mabaso, 082 884 2403 or Msawakhe Mayisela on
