Ntombenhle Mchunu was a prominent councillor of the National Freedom Party (NFP) in the Nongoma local municipality in KwaZulu-Natal. She was known for her dedication to public service and commitment to the people. She was shot dead at her home in Nongoma on Sunday morning, July 30, 2023.
Mchunu was 75 years old and had been a councillor for over 20 years. She was a member of the NFP’s executive committee and the chairperson of its women’s wing. She was also a well-respected figure in the community and was known for her work on issues such as education, health, and poverty.
The motive for the attack is unclear. Police are investigating the possibility that it was politically motivated, as the Nongoma local municipality has been a hotbed of political tensions in recent times. However, it is also possible that the attack was motivated by something else, such as a personal grudge.
The killing of Ntombenhle Mchunu is a tragedy and a loss to the community. She was a dedicated public servant who was passionate about helping others. Her death is a reminder of the dangers that political figures face in South Africa, and it is a call for us to work to create a more peaceful and tolerant political climate.
The killing of Ntombenhle Mchunu is a tragedy and a loss to the community. It is important that the police do everything they can to bring her killer to justice.
