eTV reports the Battle of Foreman Road

On the 14th of November 2005, at the Foreman Road settlement in Clare Estate, Durban, South Africa, police attacked a peaceful demonstration of settlement dwellers from around the municipality. This was the evening’s news report, from eTV, in English.

City Manager, Michael Sutcliffe, had issued an illegal diktat banning the march – when people tried to engage in peaceful defiance of Sutcliffe’s ban they were immediately and viscously attacked by the police under the command of Superintendent Glen Nayager.
