reported that Mkhwanazi was the induna of Khula village in the Dukuduku reserve, 5km outside St Lucia in northern KwaZulu-Natal. He was reportedly shot by men whose car was being repaired.
“The murder of a public representative is tantamount to subversion of democracy because councillors are servants of the people elected directly by the people,” said Hlomuka, who urged anybody who knows anything about the murder to give the information to the police.

According to the Far North region, he was shot at a cultural village.
