There cannot be another bloodbath!

The Anti-Eviction Campaign is organising a second meeting of local Guguelthu businesspeople in order to prevent the renewed xenophobia that has been sweeping Cape Town.

The meeting is to air grievances and seek out the root causes of the destruction of local businesses in Gugulethu and other townships.

Everyone is invited to come and openly discuss these issues. We are expecting this meeting to be larger than the last one as hesitant residents realise this is a safe place for honest discussion.

As an organisation of poor people, by poor people and for poor people, we are committed to uniting all those struggling against oppression by rich companies and their government.

Down with xenophobic pogroms, Down!
