According to reports, Khumalo was killed on Saturday night after returning from the reed dance ceremony at eNyokeni Palace.
IFP Provincial Chairperson Thami Ntuli said, “We call on SAPS to act swiftly to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
“The IFP is extremely concerned about the brutal killings of Izinduna, Amakhosi and councillors in this province”.
“Police Minister Bheki Cele, with the national police commissioner, must now establish an effective task team that will specialise in investigating all political killings and high-profile cases in KZN,” said Ntuli.
He further said the state of lawlessness that exists in the province, and country at large, can no longer be tolerated.
“The IFP conveys its deepest condolences to the king of the Zulu nation, the prime minister of the Zulu nation, the royal family and the Khumalo family on the tragic passing of Dr Khumalo, who served the royal household and the Zulu nation with respect and loyalty.
“He also served the late king with distinction. We wish to also convey our condolences to Indonsa Yesizwe and the entire community of kwaNongoma for the loss of the beloved Induna Dr Khumalo,” said Ntuli.
