One of the most dangerous professions in South Africa

• The profession of politics in South Africa is indeed one of the most dangerous jobs in the country due to politically motivated killings.
• These killings often occur during election periods, particularly local government elections, where competition over resources and tenders can lead to increased tensions and violence.
• The growing trend of political violence has raised concerns about a potential 'inflexion point' where such killings become increasingly entrenched, with KwaZulu-Natal being one of the main centers of political violence in South Africa.
