MK Party urges PKTT to probe rising member killings

The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has called on the South African Police Service's Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) to investigate a series of targeted killings against its members, following the fatal shooting of Gideon 'Mfene' Thusini, a founding member in KwaMashu. Thusini was killed while returning from a community operation, and no arrests have been made. The MK Party claims nine of its members have been murdered in recent months, raising concerns about increasing attacks on activists linked to the anti-illegal migration movement. National spokesperson Sifiso Mahlangu urged swift action from the PKTT and emphasized the need for peaceful resolution of political differences. Previous victims include activist Andile Mvuyelwa Somgxada and Thato Molosankwe, both linked to anti-illegal migration efforts.
