SACC APPALLED BY VIOLENT ATTACKS AGAINST DEMOCRACY

The SACC is appalled by the violent attacks against defenceless and poor members of the community of Kennedy Road, Durban – known as Abahlali baseMjondolo. We are shocked at the savage attacks on their leadership. The sin of members of this community is resisting relocation and fighting for a place to call home.
