The timing of this incident could not be more precarious.

With the approaching general elections scheduled for 2024, the situation has taken on an even more critical dimension, as just last week another councillor survived an assassination attempt.

The prevailing atmosphere suggests that such incidents could sadly become more frequent as various political factions vie for coveted positions in both the national parliament and provincial legislatures.

The struggle for power and influence seems to be intensifying, casting a dark shadow over the electoral process.

Councillor Mkhize’s killing serves as a haunting reminder of the increasingly perilous political climate in KwaZulu-Natal.

Although government has tried investigating the political killings in the province, such as with establishment of the Moerane commission, there does not appear to be a solution in sight.

As the region navigates these treacherous waters, here’s an urgent need for comprehensive measures to address the root causes of such incidents and restore a semblance of stability.
