Councillor Killed in Office Shooting
Description
A chilling wave of violence has hit Nelson Mandela Bay as councillor Sicelo Mleve was gunned down in his office — the third councillor killed this term — sparking urgent calls for immediate security upgrades. Despite a planned $16 million rollout of CCTV and alarms for all 60 ward offices, delays and budget shortfalls have left officials vulnerable. The murder, which followed a tense meeting where suspects demanded phones before firing shots, has reignited fears of targeted assassinations. With local elections looming and another councillor slain in Cape Town over the weekend, city leaders are scrambling to secure funding and protect elected officials in crime-ridden areas — before it’s too late.
