POLITICAL violence has once again reared its ugly head in our area, despite oaths of peace by all parties contesting the August 3 local government elections.
A Hibberdene man and a man and a woman from Gamalakhe, all related to ANC politicians, have been killed.
In one of the incidents, a five-year-old child was also injured.
Previously such killings were attributed to other political parties, now, however, inter-party tension is being blamed.
There appears to be community dissatisfaction with some of the ANC’s candidate nominations.
Those who are jilted or retained have been warned to `guard their backs’.
This intolerance sullies our democracy.
Leaders need to stand up and speak out against this unrest.
