A political branch launch in Ward 25, eThekwini, was abruptly cancelled after a violent incident disrupted proceedings, highlighting ongoing safety concerns surrounding political activities in KwaZulu-Natal. Party leadership confirmed an individual attempted to attack members during the event, forcing immediate intervention by the South African Police Service (SAPS).

Video evidence shared by the party leader shows the chaotic scene that unfolded during what was meant to be a celebratory gathering. The leader and provincial chairperson—photographed later at a police station in their distinctive green party attire—assisted members in filing charges while commending SAPS for their rapid response.

“This unfortunate incident robbed our dedicated members of an important occasion,” the leader stated, apologizing to supporters while emphasizing the party’s commitment to safety. Police successfully detained the suspect, preventing potential injuries, though motives remain unclear.

I would sincerely like to apologise to our members and activists in Ward 25, EThekwini in KwaZulu-Natal for the sudden cancellation of their branch launch due to a criminal trying to kill some of our members.

The attack raises urgent questions about political violence in the province, particularly in areas with histories of unrest. While SAPS’ effective response demonstrates improved crisis readiness, analysts suggest preventative measures—including better security planning and community dialogue—are needed to address root causes.

Political observers note the incident’s timing is significant, occurring amid heightened tensions ahead of upcoming elections. The visible leadership shown by party officials at the police station projects stability, but underscores the precarious environment facing activists.

As investigations continue, civil society groups are calling for multi-stakeholder efforts to safeguard democratic processes. The case has reignited debates about how to balance freedom of political association with necessary security protections in South Africa’s volatile political landscape.
