ANC Youth League member shot dead

The ANC Youth League’s national task team meeting in Tshwane yesterday ended on a violent note after one member was shot and killed.

The shooting happened after a scuffle broke out between a faction from Hammanskraal and a group from Mamelodi. The national task team has been holding meetings across the country to prepare for the league’s national conference, which is expected to take place next year.

An eyewitness told City Press that a number of attendees tried to break up the fight, but the matter escalated when members of the regional executive faction from Hammanskraal started hurling chairs at their opponents.

While many members started running out of the hall, the Hammanskraal group followed the opposing faction outside and, minutes later, a gun was fired twice.

The eyewitness said: “He [the gunman] was covering it [the gun] with a T-shirt. I could not see what kind of gun it was. It was surprising to me that a person would carry a gun to a meeting. Clearly it means that this person or whoever else they were with did not come here for a meeting, they came there to fight and to kill people.”

It could have been way worse.
Imagine if a white person said (never mind did) something that could maybe/possibly be construed as being racist.
Luckily it's only murder.
