With the 4 November local government elections fast approaching, police are sounding the alarm over politically motivated violence.

Acting National Police Commissioner Puleng Dimpane says the killings of political party members are a growing concern, with ANC, EFF, DA and MK Party members among those killed since the start of the year.

And the warning comes as organised crime researcher Julian Rademeyer reports that 25 people have already been killed in pre-election violence, with 22 violent incidents recorded across five provinces.
