David Bruce, The Con
Political assassinations appear to be on the increase in
post-apartheid South Africa – especially in more recent years – with researcher
David Bruce suggesting as many as 450 people have been killed since the advent
of democracy.
Intra-party violence has increased in KwaZulu-Natal since the
Inkatha Freedom Party’s splintering of the National Freedom Party. Inter-party
violence, especially within the ANC, has also seen a spike to mirror the
increased competition for resources, tenders and government positions.
