Former KwaZulu-Natal ActionSA chair Dr Makhosi Khoza is fuming over speculation that she is involved in a plot to assassinate her successor.
This comes after she received a call from a Berea SAPS detective who wanted to question her about allegations they had received of a plot to kill Musa Kubheka.
“I received a call from Berea police station that they are investigating an assassination [allegation] against me. The detective who called me claimed that the case was opened by Musa Kubheka.
“This is insane because I left everything that has to do with that political party, ” said Khoza.
She told Scrolla.Africa that she has even refused to challenge their decision to fire her from the party but they are still following her.
“I don’t know what they want from me. I am being tested and I really don’t know why all these bad things are happening in my life.”
She said that she was the one who brought Kubheka into politics and she doesn’t understand what she would gain by killing him.
“Look, I was a deputy mayor at the age of 26. I have been into politics for the better part of my life. Why would I come after someone who is not even known, for that matter?
“I think I need to do some sort of cleansing ritual to do away with all these [questions] that keep following me. I groomed this person and made him who he is today but today he is doing this to me.”
She said she is yet to meet the detectives with regard to the matter.
After the party dismissed Khoza, Kubheka was elected to replace her as provincial chair and as a councillor in the eThekwini metro.
Kubheka told Scrolla.Africa that he opened the case in February after he received death threats.
“Soon after I was appointed as provincial chair, I then received messages from unknown numbers threatening that my wife will be a widow and my son an orphan because I’m taking other people’s positions. I took the matter to our organisation and to the police provincial commissioner for investigation, ” said Kubheka.
He said he received a call from the detective but he wouldn’t share the details.
