KwaZulu Natal: Corruption Whistleblower Still On The Run From Assassins

SEVEN COUNCILLORS have been eliminated through the barrel of a gun in KwaZulu Natal this year alone with the latest killings happening just two weeks ago.

So severe is the situation that in 2016, the provincial government constituted the Moerane Commission to probe the assassination of public representatives in the province.

The investigation’s terms of reference among others was to find out the number, nature and locality of incidents of murders involving politicians both as victims and suspects in the province from 2011.

It also sought to provide insight whether the incidents were linked to political, ethnic, tribal, social or criminal factors.

Four years later, no arrests of high profile political figures have been effected despite the Moerane report fingering politicians as being at the centre of the killings by hiring hitmen to eliminate their opponents.
