The SA Communist Party has suspended five more senior members in Tshwane, in connection with last week’s deadly unrest.

This brings to ten the number of current and former district leaders facing disciplinary action over the violent protests.

Five people died in the violence triggered by the ANC’s confirmation of Thoko Didiza as its mayoral candidate.

The Reds were hitting the campaign trail making amends perhaps for a costly disruption to city life for which some of their own members were allegedly responsible.
