Press release

The Conference of the Democratic Left is shocked to hear of the attack on the offices of Abahlali baseMjondolo in Kennedy Road settlement in Durban, which resulted in at least three and probably more people being killed. We condemn this outrage in the strongest possible terms. The reports say that this was an attack instigated by the ANC, involving tribalists and criminals and that it was connived in by the police. This is additionally shocking and we condemn all these anti-democratic manifestations in the strongest possible terms. Abahlali baseMjondolo is a democratic and non-violent organisation.
