ANOTHER ANC MP ATTACKED IN KZN

THE ANC has accused its rival Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) of being behind an attack on the home of ANC MP Prince Zeblon Zulu at Nongoma. While police claim yesterday’s attack was motivated by robbery, ANC Nongoma general-secretary Philemon Ntuli said the attackers were IFP supporters attending a rally in the vicinity of Zulu’s home. Ntuli said the attackers were IFP supporters who manhandled the princess in the presence of an IFP MPP, wanting to know why she was not attending the rally. The attack comes barely two weeks after ANC MP Bheki Mkhize was shot dead at his home by police allegedly searching for weapons.
