Nelson Mandela's dream 'African National Congress' has become notorious for political assassinations. Whistle-blowers and competitors within the party are being killed off over money, turf and power. Police released political killings data for the first time and the death toll has been estimated to 90 since 2016. The conflict within the party has left members fearing for their lives, making the party more like a mafia.
