ANC KZN leader expected to get a grilling at political violence commission

KwaZulu-Natal ANC chairman Sihle Zikalala is expected to be cross-examined by evidence leader Adv Bheki Manyathi on Friday.

Zikalala delivered lengthy testimony on Thursday at the Moerane Commission‚ which is investigating political violence in KwaZulu-Natal.

Zikalala sought to absolve the ruling party from the scourge of political killings during his testimony.

Zikalala says parties must share blame for KZN killings 

Since the commission started two months ago‚ Manyathi has gained a reputation for asking uncomfortable questions — which could irk Zikalala.

On Thursday‚ Zikalala said the blame cannot only be apportioned to the ANC when it comes to political killings in KwaZulu-Natal.

He also sought to portray the ANC as a proactive organisation‚ which itself had made the call for the establishment of the commission of inquiry.
