Siyabulela Siswana is described as a hard-working activist committed to fighting corruption and uplifting the poor. The 44-year-old and his six-year-old daughter were murdered in their Cape Town home on Wednesday in what his colleagues are calling an assassination.

Police have launched an investigation and begun interviews after 44-year-old SACP Brian Bunting district secretary Siyabulela Siswana and his six-year-old daughter were murdered in their Mfuleni, Cape Town, home on Wednesday evening. Siswana’s political associates said the killing was an assassination.

“It was not necessarily a robbery. It was just a clear indication they were just there to shoot him,” said Sokoyi. “We don’t want to speculate at the moment. The manner in which it was done, it was like a hit. It wasn’t like a robbery or hijacking, nothing was taken. Politics by nature always has tension.”Potelwa commented: “Detectives are hard at work investigating the two murders and attempted murder. The investigation that is unfolding is expected to determine the motive for the shooting.
