South Africa: Two main candidates die in elections
South Africa has reported that candidates from the Inkatha Freedom Party have died in two assassination incidents that occurred within a week prior to the local elections scheduled for November 4th, indicating an escalation of political violence in the country. The party called on authorities to urgently intervene by deploying a task force to investigate and identify those responsible, affirming that no political or electoral reason can justify the killing of even one person. Since the beginning of 2026, political assassinations have increased, with the number of victims over recent years reaching roughly 500 cases between 2000 and 2023, including 31 cases in 2023 alone.
