NOMPUMELELO MAGWAZA & KAMINI PADAYACHEE

AN EMBATTLED Durban police station commander was arrested by the Hawks yesterday for allegedly being in possession of case dockets - including one in which he is facing a charge of assault.

Sydenham Senior Superintendent Glen Nayager's arrest came after he secured victories in the labour and equality courts, and in an internal disciplinary hearing in recent weeks.

In this article 'residents' should be read to mean 'local ANC members'.

CLERGY from the Diakonia Council of Churches gathered outside the Durban Magistrate's Court yesterday to pray for 13 people charged with killing two men at the Kennedy Road informal settlement in Sydenham, Durban.

The council has come out in support of the 13 men, claiming that police had falsely arrested the members of shack dwellers' movement, Abahlali baseMjondolo. In a statement released on Tuesday, Anglican Bishop Rubin Phillip said the police had arrested victims of violence at the settlement, instead of the perpetrators.

Vusi Khoza, ward councillor of Albert Park in Durban, will have to answer to charges of murder and attempted murder relating to an alleged xenophobic attack.

Khoza and his co-accused - Sean Thabo Jacobs, 24, Nkosinathi Dlamini, 24, Delisile Ngwane, 54, Linda Nala, 42, Zoleka Sigcau, 50, Patricia Ballantyne, 67, and Mzokuthoba Mnonyama, 39 - were charged with murder, attempted murder, assault and public violence relating to the incident.

Clearly shack dwellers don't count as 'residents' in this article...If they did, and were spoken to, the journalist would soon have discovered all kinds of worries on that side of the fence too....Like the fact that the building of the government shacks is still not complete months after the fire (unlike in Kennedy where people, with City help in getting building materials for the first time, rebuilt themselves in a week; like the fact that the government shacks are being allocated with shocking political bias resulting in long standing residents being left homeless while outsiders with the right connections get the government shacks....
