|
26th February 2009
The IFP has condemned in the strongest terms the murder of its Umlalazi councillor Elliot Maphumulo. Cllr Maphumulo, aged 50, was gunned down at his home in Gingindlovu last night.
"This is an act of unspeakable evil and cowardice. Cllr Maphumulo's murder shows how volatile the political climate is in KwaZulu Natal in the run-up to the 2009 election," said IFP National Chairperson and KwaZulu Natal Premier Candidate Cllr Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi.
The IFP is thankful for the attention this murder is receiving from the SAPS. "We urge anyone with information pertaining to this tragedy to come forward and assist the police," said kaMagwaza-Msibi.
The IFP extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and constituents of Cllr Maphumulo.
