Dancing and tears and moving forward at Kennedy Road
A statement of solidarity to Abahlali baseMjondolo from CLP
July 2011
All of us at CLP [Church Land Programme] were so happy when the 'Kennedy 12' were finally acquitted this week. We congratulate the movement on this victory and for the strength you have all shown throughout the process. We were proud and privileged to find some practical ways of helping during the ordeal. From the times we were able to see some of you in prison and in court, and during the time we were able to provide you with shelter in safe accommodation, the 'Kennedy 12' became much more than a group of 'the accused' to us. We got to know you well as real people.
