# The South African Federation of Trade Unions says the escalating political violence and killings strike at the heart of the country’s democracy. This follows the killing of two ANC Youth League members and two others in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni, on Tuesday evening. At least 43 people have been murdered in suspected political assassinations in the country during the first nine months of this year. SAFTU’s Asive Dyani says political killings cannot be allowed to become an accepted feature of elections or public life:
