A KwaZulu-Natal African National Congress councillor has been killed. Newcastle councillor Thembi Mbongwa was shot in full view of her children and husband last night.

It’s allegedly understood two men entered her house last night and shot her dead.

The motive of the hit is not yet known but party leaders in the province suspect it might be politically motivated.

The ANC’s provincial spokesperson Mdumiseni Ntuli says a party delegation is en route to Newcastle to visit the family.
