Senseless killing of four youth and hijacking of DA MPL Magaqa condemned

By

Dear MyPE

The Democratic Alliance in the Eastern Cape condemns the hijacking of a DA Member of the Provincial Legislature (MPL), Sanele Magaqa’s car in Zone 4 of Zwelitsha over the weekend. This follows the senseless killing of four people.

Seven armed men forced MPL Magaqa, along with his two family members Luvuyo and Zuko Magaqa, out of his car just as he was was dropping off another family member at the Zone 4 taxi rank in Zwelitsha.

MPL Magaqa was at the right place at a wrong time. These men had just gunned down four youths, before taking his car and using it to flee.

I would also like to applaud the promptness of the South African Police Services (SAPS). Magaqa’s car was later found abandoned in Dimbaza, with all valuables removed from it.

We welcome the Provincial Task Team assigned to MPL Magaqa’s case and trust they will provide regular updates on the progress made in the investigation.

Regards

Nqaba Bhanga
DA Eastern Cape Provincial Leader
