Two ANC Members Killed During Campaigning in Umgababa
Published
Two African National Congress members, a man and a woman, were killed during a door-to-door election campaign in Umgababa, south of Durban, on Thursday afternoon. Police said gunmen in a white Isuzu pickup approached the campaigners and their bodyguards from behind and opened fire with rifles and pistols. Officers opened two murder and three attempted-murder counts. Police said the motive was unknown and political intolerance had not been ruled out. The ANC said it would review security for campaign volunteers.
