“She was an incredible woman, I mean there were threats made against her life, at one stage there was a drive-by shooting where bullets were fired into her home.
“The party then engaged with eThekwini municipality and also ourselves had appointed security, and there seemed to be a constant threat against her and her family,” said the DA’s KwaZulu-Natal leader, Francois Rodgers.
Rodgers added that Msomi will forever be remembered for her courage.
