The last time Build One South Africa (BOSA) Gugulethu ward candidate Leon Ngcikwe’s family saw him alive was when he came back home from a registration drive to drop off his daughter, leaving again to drop off the rest of his colleagues.
Later that Saturday evening, Ngcikwe’s mother Joyce said they received a call telling them to go to hospital as Ngcikwe had been shot. Ngcikwe later died of his injuries.
The killing of two ward committee candidates in Cape Town and a councillor in Gqeberha over the weekend has intensified concerns over a resurgence of political violence as South Africa heads towards the local government election season.
