RE: Press for immediate Release (ABM-WC Protest)
Abahlali baseMjondolo Western Cape will be Marching to the offices of the City of Cape Town on the 20th July 2009 in support of Macassar Village Land Occupation.

Lansdown Road is Currently Barricaded

It will be joined by 15 informal settlement throughout Khayelitsha that are the part of the Movement, all the areas that will participate at the march will submit their own list of demands in a view to make their voice heard by the new Mayor of City of Cape Town.

While the Movement is busy organizing the March 5 communities from Khayelitsha (i.e. QQ section, RR Section, BM Section, PJS Section and NN Section) who will participate at the march have joined forces together and are currently engaging on a protest, as we speak the Lansdown Road from Bonga Drive to Steve Biko drive is barricaded by burning tyres, rubbish and stones.

As the ABM-WC is expecting other communities to engage at mass base activities is also calling to all other struggling communities within the City of Cape Town to come out and make their voice heard through engaging at mass base activities, so that the officials and politicians can see that it is not communities that affiliates to ABM-WC who are struggling but all the communities.
