Local government elections in South Africa are scheduled to be held on the 4th. While various political parties are intensively mobilizing before the election, another bad news of political violence broke out — a grassroots convener of the National Spear Party, the third-largest political force in South Africa, was shot dead at his home in KwaZulu-Natal province on the evening of the 2nd. South African media quoted people familiar with the matter as reporting that Rustbourne Shaqi, the grassroots convener of the Spear of the Nation, attended an online conference at his home in Umzombe in KwaZulu-Natal that night to prepare for the local government election. They heard that someone knocked on the door and was killed when they opened the door to check.
