Martin Sithole, the former treasurer of the ANC’s troubled eMalahleni Region, under which Newcastle falls, and local businessperson, Buthanani Golden Shange were gunned down outside Shange’s shop in the Newcastle city centre. This happened at around 5pm on Sunday.
Mahlaba was arrested earlier this year in relation to the 2015 murder of ANC Youth League eMalahleni leader, Wandile Ngobeni. SAPS spokesperson Naidoo said that, while the motive for the murders was not clear, the matter was being investigated by the task team investigating political killings in the province. They called for witnesses who might have information about the killings to come forward.
Simelane-Zulu said the party leadership had given Mahlaba 30 days to resign from office, a deadline which had passed just before the election last week.
