The killing of political figures in South Africa continues, even after voters went to the polls. An uMkhonto weSizwe Party organiser, Lastborn Shazi, was shot dead at his home in Umzumbe, KwaZulu-Natal, while a suspected EFF member was stabbed to death in Polokwane. These latest incidents bring the reported death toll to 45 politicians killed since January.
