TRAs Occupied in Langa
8 July 2012
Abahlali baseMjondolo of the Western Cape - Emergency Press Statement
TRAs Occupied in Langa
After the rise-up of Abahlali at the
KwaLanga TRA's that took place on Friday, Abahlali were told
that there will be a meeting between Abahlali, the HDA and
the corrupt leadership to reconcile and to work out a fair
way forward.
While Abahlali are waiting for that meeting
to take place, they are seeing people that they don't know
being allocated to the empty TRAs. So today Abahlali had a
meeting and they decided as collective that today they are
going to occupy those empty TRAs cause they are now being
allocated to people while the issue of the corrupt
leadership that has been selling them has not been dealt
with. At the same time people themselves need a place to
stay and are still waiting for the promised meeting with the
HDA What does not makes sense is that the offices of HDA are
closed today and new people are being moved in today. By the
time we can engage with the HDA it will be too late. Its
clear that this corrupt area committee is continuing to sell
the TRAs while there are local people who don't have a place
to stay in the area.
Viva the spirit of AsiJiki! Phansi with Corrupt Committee! Viva Operation occupy TRA's!
