# President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed concern about the spate of politically related killings ahead of the local government elections next month. According to the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime, 43 people were killed in suspected political assassinations across South Africa between January and September this year. Just last week, two ANC volunteers were shot and killed while engaging in door-to-door campaigning in Umgababa in KwaZulu-Natal. Ramaphosa says South Africa cannot be a country that has people killed for having opposing views:
