Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Statement

 

Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Statement on Heritage Day

Our movement will gather together on this day of 24 September 2014 to celebrate our cultural diversity and histories of struggle. As always we embrace each other’s well-being as creatures who are to enjoy life. We continue to insist that Durban must be a home, safe and free, for everyone that lives in this city whether we are rich or impoverished, women or men and without regard for where we were born and what language we speak.

We will also be using this opportunity to give a report back to our general membership on the progress of our struggle for land, housing and dignity. We will be reporting on all the challenges we have faced this year. Will be reporting on all the meetings we have had with various government officials and other institutions and organizations, the status of the struggle in our branches and of the movement as a whole. And yes, this will be an opportunity to hold the University of Abahlali in Action on political work.

The event will be held tomorrow at Siyanda “B” in Kwa Mashu, starting from 10:00am and concluding at 15:00pm.
