All are invited to attend Women’s Day in Zille Raine Heights.

The event starts at 10am on Women’s Day, 9th August 2007 and will finish at 1pm.

You are invited to bring your own activity.

Plays etc will be performed.

The struggle by the shackdwellers of Zille Raine Heights, most of whom are 5th generation shack dwellers, is led by women, who have stood up very strongly against one forced removal by police, and police brutality and other attempted evictions. It is thanks to the strong women of Zille Raine Heights, who have even led an occupation of the M5 highway before, that the entire community is still living in a neighbourhood where they have access to services like schools, clinics and transport, and not in the wasteland of Happy Valley where other shackdwellers are being dumped day after day.

The venue for the event is the corner of Acacia and Klip Roads, Zille Raine Heights.

Supported by the Cape Town Anti-War Coalition and the Workers International Vanguard League.

NOTE:

The Womens Day activity in Zille Raine Heights has been postponed to Saturday 11th August at 3pm at the Southern Suburbs Youth Academy, Acacia Road, since the community wants to combine it with a fundraiser.

Please try to attend since the community is in desperate need of funds for their various protest activities. It is important that they receive support in order to stem the massive onslaught of forced removals against shack dwellers by the City of Cape Town.

Entrance is R10 but those who do not have it will be admitted free. For more info contact Eleanor Hoedemaker on 072 4490436
