ANC member shot dead at meeting

"We didn't know what was happening because it was dark. We heard the gunshots and we ran around. I heard that someone was shot and when I went to see who it was, I realised that it was Cindy," she said.

Madoda Mkhombeni, 52, the branch chair, said he was disappointed with how events unfolded at the meeting. "They threw chairs at me when it was my turn to answer questions about what I would do for the community if I was elected. The same faction accused me of being a tribalist and even called me a kaffir," he said."They switched off the lights in the hall and fired shots from outside. I think they wanted to kill me but shot to the wrong person," he said.

Mhlongo's aunt Patricia Gumede, 47, said the family wanted the person behind the murder to feel the full wrath of the law. "How can they have a meeting and someone brings a gun? What sort of a meeting is this? Cindy was not a thug. She was a card-carrying ANC member who devoted her time to the party and her children.""We are hurt because whoever shot her left her kids without a mother. Her youngest child, who is a year and three months old, is very sickly. She underwent a heart surgery recently. We don't know how we're going to take care of the children," she said.
