The South African Local Government Association (Salga) says intervention is needed to address the killing of municipal councillors.
Salga says there has been a significant increase in such incidents – more especially in KwaZulu-Natal and this is affecting service delivery.
The association’s provincial chairperson – Thamsanqa Ntuli has told the publication that law enforcement officials are not doing enough to bring the perpetrators to book.
“It is rare that you hear of an arrest or a conviction, even if there would be some people appearing but when you follow the case you never find a conviction.”
Ntuli says the Police Minister – Bheki Cele needs to intervene.
“We believe the Minister of Police needs to have a programme that will empower the police to be able to investigate and find facts and bring evidence that will convince the court.”
