APF solidarity with Anti Eviction Campaign Old skeletons are trembling in their closets as the traditional weapons of South African political play are sharpened at this time of elections. The split in the ruling party has done little to pacify the grudge match between the IFP and the ANC in Nongoma in KwaZulu-Natal. Instead, Cope's emergence has opened another front for beatings and intimidation between the sparring partners. Cope members in East London have been left to wonder "if the ANC is declaring war on us." And amongst the APF's own affiliates, the office of the Kliptown Concerned Residents was broken into. Electioneering material for the organisation's 28 January by-election campaign in the ward were removed by unknown 'comrade tsotsis.' The Anti Privatisation Forum has observed with some trepidation the eruption of electoral violence in Cape Town. On Sunday, 8 February 2009, two leaders of the Anti Eviction Campaign (AEC) in Gugulethu, Cape Town were arrested. Mncedisi Twalo and Mbulelo Zuba were beaten severely before being taken into custody as police savagely dispersed the weekly meeting of the AEC using teargas and batons. The police were evidently called in by the ANC's Western Cape chairperson, Mcebisi Skwatsha, and councillor Belinda Landingwe who mischievously alleged that the AEC was interfering with the work of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). The two ANC representatives were seen at the IEC registration drive. |
