The MK Party (MKP) has expressed concern about the murders of its members after it lost a third member in two weeks.
Mxolisi Zungu was shot while walking with his wife and child in Cato Manor, KwaZulu-Natal, news outlets have reported.
A week ago, two members were shot and killed in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni, after a dispute with ANC members. Arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
The party's Nhlamulo Ndhlela said: "These heinous acts of violence, which began before the elections and continue, represent a grievous assault on our democratic values and the safety of our community.
"We are devastated to report the cold-blooded murder of another one of our members today [Wednesday] that took place in front of his wife and children, compounding the tragedy and trauma experienced by his family and our party."
