Abstract
After 25 years of democracy, political violence
remains one of the greatest challenges that
continuously undermine South Africa’s
constitutional state. The province of KwaZuluNatal accounts for the majority of political
violence that occurs in South Africa and, especially
around election time, fear and anxiety loom as
political assassinations increase. The 2016 local
government elections brought an end to the single
dominant party situation in some major metros
and rural municipalities, but the process that
preceded the elections was marked by numerous
political killings in KwaZulu-Natal.
