Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>North West EFF secretary-general Papiki Babuile says the party is in the dark about possible motives that could have led to the murder of its Rustenburg PR councillor, Tsietsi Muhalatsi.<\/p>\n

“We don’t know what could have been the motive because he was a humble and committed councillor of the EFF. For the EFF, this was the first incident, so we were shocked. This incident surprised us,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the party would rely on residents to alert police to any leads.<\/p>\n

Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said the Ward 43 councillor was shot and killed on Tuesday by unknown assailants.<\/p>\n

Passers-by found Muhalatsi’s body in his white Nissan Navara bakkie at Freedom Park informal settlement near Phokeng and alerted police.<\/p>\n

“The motive of the incident is yet to be determined, and investigations are still under way,” said Mokgwabone, adding that no arrests had yet been made.<\/p>\n

He said Muhalatsi had gunshot wounds to his upper body.<\/p>\n
