ukzn evicts

December 21, 2005

zoleka thombo’s case was postponed today. she is the kennedy road person who was arrested on a charge of possessing stolen property (a fence pole) after kennedy road took back the ‘promised land’.

and the committee for academic feedom in africa has prepared a statement against the ukzn banning of ashwin. it will be out soon. no doubt this will real raise international awareness.

and there was another really good show on radio al ansaar this afternoon. on forced removals this time. mnikelo ndabankulu (foreman road) and siyacela ndenza (formerly of lusaka, now removed to mount moriah) were excellent.

and then sibusiso xaba come to see with me with the papers for a high court action. ukzn intends to make an application on 6 January to have shack dwellers at the banna city settlement on the westville campus removed…..

there doesn’t seem to be much chance of avoiding conflict with the management here.
