Cele said the team — appointed in May 2018 — was dealing with more than 80 politically related killings in the province and had arrested 161 suspects, leading to 136 suspects being charged.
Cele made the comments at a briefing on Thursday, in the wake of the state’s withdrawal of murder charges against Harry Gwala district municipality mayor Mluleki Ndobe. A probe into alleged links between Durban mayor and eThekwini ANC chairperson Zandile Gumede and the murder of ANC councillor S’bu Maphumulo has also sparked controversy, with Gumede claiming she is the victim of a political conspiracy.
“The progress made to date by the task team is highly commendable and evident to the commitment to serve with integrity without fear or favour and prejudice,” Cele added.
