An ANC North West official was shot dead outside his house in Klerksdorp on Friday morning

“No other people were injured in the shooting... A murder docket has been opened,” said Brigadier Thulani Ngubane. 

North West premier Thandi Modise identified the victim as Obuti Chika, the party’s regional secretary.  

“Police [should] not leave any stone unturned until those responsible are brought to book,” she said.

Modise said a number of officials in the province had been the target of violent crime in the past few weeks.  

“The provincial government wants to know who is behind these assassinations [and attempted assassinations],” she said.
