Below, the text of the KZN shackdweller elimination bill, which the KZN legislature has euphemistically entitled "Elimination and prevention of re-emergence of slums bill". This is a truly terrifying piece of legislation that goes so far as to propose moving shackdwellers to 'transit camps' and which amounts to a declaration of intent to wage an out and out war on the poor. Original PDF file below. Please read it and please invest some time and energy in finding ways to resist this attempt to decisively swing power back to the rich in a way that would destroy all the gains made by popular action from the 80s and by legislative reform from 1996.
