THE United Democratic Movement in Gauteng on Thursday called on all political parties to sign a pre-election peace pact.
At a service in Johannesburg for slain UDM KwaZulu-Natal midlands leader Sifiso Nkabinde, Gauteng UDM leader Lulama Mshumpela said: “In order to have a violence-free election in this province I call on all political parties to reach an accord condemning violence … Let us responsible political parties sit down and protect one another.”
He added: “Political parties that do not want to climb on the blood of innocent people will commit themselves to this, but those who rejoice when South Africans lose their lives will not.”
