# ActionSA has condemned the killing of councillors and candidates during the voter registration weekend, saying political violence has no place in a constitutional democracy. A DA by-election candidate was killed in Cape Town this past weekend, while an ANC ward councillor was gunned down in Gqeberha. Two MK Party members were shot dead in Bekkersdal, Gauteng. ActionSA’s Dereleen James says voter registration weekends are meant to strengthen democracy by allowing citizens to register and prepare to participate in upcoming elections:
