Police minister Bheki Cele is expected to visit the family of slain ANC activist Sifiso Cele in Margate‚ 200km south of Durban‚ on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old Sifiso Cele was treasurer of the ANC’s Oshabeni branch and had been a longstanding figure in local politics. He was gunned down in Margate Extension on Monday‚ shot execution-style in the presence of his wife and children.
The killing comes as the ruling party grapples with deep-rooted divisions in the province‚ and in a region that has seen a spate of politically motivated killings.
