"I want to appeal to all ANC members to be vigilant as it seems that there still exists some forces of darkness who are bent on dividing our movement and creating mistrust," he said.

Mkhize and Nhlakanipho Ntshangase were walking along a road in Margate when they were shot at by gunmen in a car last Saturday.

Mkhize died at the scene while Ntshangase sustained critical injuries.

"This is not the first incident in this province. The killing of ANC comrades is becoming commonplace and thus requiring serious investigations," Zuma said.

"We are even more concerned when such deaths are targeted towards ANC leaders, and they die in a hail of bullets in an assassination style."

Zuma said because Mkhize was an active, hard-working, dedicated, disciplined and principled ANC member he managed to climb through the party's ranks.

He said those who had seen Mkhize at the party's national policy conference in Gauteng the week before were shocked to hear of his death.

Zuma conveyed his condolences to Mkhize's wife and children and his close friends. He wished Ntshangase a speedy recovery.

So the road to Mangaung is going to be like this, anyone who doesn`t agree with the second transition will be killed like Cde Wandile Mkhize.

......I was at Mkhize's funeral at Ugu Sports & Leisure Complex yesterday.

It will be interesting to see what the background to his death is if they ever catch his killer....the ANC in KZN has now been taken over by IFP supporters supporting JZ so the political situation is going back to the early 90's.

Mkhize was from the Nzimakwe area which together with Thongasi supported Malema's faction of the ANCYL, so there may be something sinister there.

Mkhize also pencilled some sinister articles in local newspapers recently which were viewed as rac'ist and against the non ra'cist constitution of the ANC so he made himself very unpopular in the area for this.

What I'm saying is that, we must allow police do their jobs. We shouldn't be quick in pointing fingures and accusing people without any evidence.
