South Africa has a history of political violence, including a culture of violent protests and political killings. Historically, the political killings largely target individuals holding political and occasionally administrative positions in government.
Presently, they are concentrated in the local municipal landscape, and primarily involve municipal councillors, who have been the target of more than 90% of all political assassination attempts in the past two decades.
