IFP calls for probe into murder of KZN councillor
IFP has called on police to investigate the motive for the murder of councillor Khethelo Mdluli.
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has called for a police investigation into the murder of uMlalazi Local Municipality councillor Khethelo Mdluli, according to IFP spokesperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa. The 40-year-old councillor, who represented the Gingindlovu area on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, died from gunshot wounds at Ngwelezane Hospital after an attack on his home last week.
Mdluli had been serving as a public representative since 2021 and was a candidate in the upcoming local government elections. Hlengwa strongly condemned the killing, stating that there can be no justification for the taking of a human life and that political violence has no place in their democracy. The IFP is particularly disturbed that Mdluli, as a serving public representative and election candidate, was targeted in this manner.
