KZN municipal report reveals political killings toll
Sunday World
|SW September 28 2025 edition
Multiple security guards appointed
An "in-committee" report from the ANC-run KwaDukuza local municipality in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) has revealed how the entity is buckling under the financial pressure of trying to protect councillors from political killings.
The report from the municipality's community safety department lays bare how it has tried, with limited resources, to ensure that councillors and officials are kept safe from harm.
The exact cost of the municipality's security detail of over 100 bodyguards will be tabled at the next council meeting.
The meeting that discussed the report was held on Thursday, September 25.
The report lamented that the SAPS, at times, delays conducting threat analyses for councillors, forcing the municipal manager and the speaker to create interim plans for those under threat.
