Anti-Eviction Campaign Press Alert
October 30, 2008 - For Immediate Release

The South African police and South African courts are protecting and defending the interests of the wealthy by evicting a 90 year old lady from her house in Gugulethu.

The Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign is assisting that family to resist this unjust, illegal and unconstitutional eviction by the banks. According to the South African Constitution and the PIE Act, the state must provide alternative accommodation for anyone evicted who has nowhere else to go.

The eviction will take place in the morning on Friday, the 31st of October, 2008. The community of Gugulethu will be in the streets and ready to help the old lady. We refuse to allow any of our elders to get thrown out onto the streets.
