To some he is a hero, to others an agitator, but this former Boy Scout continues to champion the cause of the landless. Abahlali Basemjondolo’s S’bu Zikode speaks to Agiza Hlongwane

Building Hope & Defending Dignity in the Rural Areas
S'bu Zikode, Abahlali baseMjondolo
Some politicians have spoken about migration from rural areas to cities as if it is a criminal matter. Others have said that people from the Eastern Cape are undermining development by coming to Durban and Cape Town. It has even been said that migration to the cities is a matter that must be investigated by the intelligence services as if it is part of some big conspiracy.
The position of our movement is that South Africa belongs to all who live in it and so we all have the same right to move to any part of the country. If a young person from Babanango or Flagstaff wants to move to Durban because she wants to live in the city that is her right and it is a right that we will defend.
