Police are contemplating sending the Political Killings Task Team to take over the investigation into the brutal murders of a councillor and a candidate over the weekend.
Speaking on Sunday, national police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said she would discuss the killings with the acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Patricia Dimpane who will make a decision.
“The National Commissioner will make a decision. I will discuss the matter with her but I'm on my way to the airport because I'm heading to KwaZulu-Natal,” said Mathe.
On Saturday, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality ward 27 councillor Sicelo Mleve was gunned down at his office while the Cape Town Municipality DA by-election candidate Sinovuyo Dyokwe was shot and killed while returning from a voter registration campaign in Dunoon.
