Abahlali Want Gumede Out

The article describes how the he campaign to have Gumede fired by the Mayor James Nxumalo is gaining momentum. It quotes AbM saying that Gumedes failure to provide leadership and deal with corruption, to provide open no housing lists etc demonstrate his lack of required leadership in Human settlement. It also says that as we speak in KwaNdengezi, Uganda and Isipingo houses are being sold. It also touches on the recent AbM victory in court and the question of police brutality.

Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Statement

Jadhu Place on Fire Again

Abahlali baseMjondo’s ongoing struggle for land and decent housing for all shack dwellers and other poor people remains the most urgent demand.

This is the season of fire, the season of shack fires, the season of great humiliation and despair, the deadly season. Those who have always criticized the victims of the shack fires as drunkards, unthinking and thieves of electricity would be blind not to understand the truth and the politic of shack fires. We burn, year after year, because we are denied electricity and because we are denied decent housing. When we carefully connect ourselves to electricity the state sends armed men to disconnect us. When we formalise our own shacks the state sends armed men to demolish them. We are forced, sometimes at gun point, to live as we do.
