KZN ANC Youth League leader killed
The chairperson of the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in KwaZulu-Natal’s Umgababa area, outside Durban, died on Friday morning after being shot, police said.
Superintendent Danelia Veldhuizen said Sthembiso Cele (27) was shot at his house on Thursday evening and he died at Scottburgh Hospital on Friday.
“He was sitting in his lounge when he was shot through the window. The motive is not known at this stage and no one has been arrested.”
ANCYL provincial leader Mxolisi Kaunda said his organisation was shocked by Cele’s murder.
“We are worried because this is happening at a time when we are heading for the elections.
He said he did not want to speculate on the reasons why he was killed, adding that they would work with the police to ensure that the perpetrators were brought to book.
Another ANC member, Inkosi Mbongeleni Zondi, was shot dead in Durban’s Umlazi Township on Thursday morning.
