Makause Community To March Against Police Brutality In Primrose
The
Makause Creative Youth Brigade (MCYB) and the Makause
Community Development Forum (Macodefo) are organising a
march on Friday, 19th October 2012 against police brutality
at Primrose Police Station (near Germiston in Ekurhuleni).

Police Brutality Campaign’ under the Asihambi Land,
Housing &
Zero Evictions Campaign.
Date: Friday, 19th October 2012 Time: 12h30 pm Venue: People will congregate at the Makause Sports Ground at the Makause Informal Settlement in Primrose and proceed to the Primrose Police Station to hand over a Memorandum to the Primrose SAPS.
The Makause community is uniting for a better, safer and crime-free kasi and demands:
• an end to police brutality • an end to forced bribery/corruption • proper investigation of un-attended to cases of crime • an end to police politics and support of mob groups • arrest of the mob group that attacked the Macodefo leadership and destroyed the community office • an urgent response to reported crimes.
This march to Primrose Police Station is to say:
* Enough is Enough! * Never and Never Again! * An Injury to One is an Injury to All! * Makause Cannot Be Divided by the Police! * We Have a Right to Survive/Life! * We Have the Right to Organize, Gather, Assemble, Picket & Demonstrate!
