[Here is the real force which will ultimately drive the ANC towards radicalism and to a black-on-white confrontation – the poor – and the promises the ANC made to them.

Recently, some Govt ministers spoke about this. They openly spoke about the ANC losing its power base if it does not promise something to these people. And these people want … And where will the ANC get it? By stealing it from the whites of course!

The ANC, in true African tradition, will cling to power to its very last breath. The ANC will have no choice but to start coming after us white people as the years go by. But, remember, ANC policies bring with them a downward spiral of violence and NEW POVERTY… which will only spur on the blacks. Eventually, this will feed on itself, and the blacks as a whole will have do decide which of us whites will be on the menu.

Which would you prefer? Grilled white arms, or curried thighs? Jan]

DURBAN “ Hundreds of squatters took to the streets of Durban over poor housing on Monday after the Durban High Court overruled a council decision not to allow the protest.

Police stopped the marchers earlier in the day, claiming their action was illegal.

However they were allowed to proceed to the Durban City Hall — under a heavy police presence — to hand over a memorandum of grievances after the court™s ruling in favour of the Shack Dwellers Movement.

Earlier, the movement accused Ethekwini City Manager Mike Sutcliffe of banning the march even though it fulfilled all requirements for a march.
The reasons the municipality gave the court for disallowing the march were not œgood enough, said the movement™s spokesman Sbu’ Zikode.

œThe organisers of the march were told that some information on their notification to march was missing. In fact, the information was submitted on February 3, but had been returned to them by the police.

œAbahlali then submitted all the additional information on February 17 and informed the authorities that three days was not sufficient for them to organise a march, they therefore would hold the march on February 27.
Sutcliffe said the group had initially applied to march on February 20.
œWe held a meeting to decide on a date and they walked out of that meeting. We did ask for more information and while we were preparing the document that they could march on the 20th, they changed the date to the 27th, said Sutcliffe.

œLast week they said they don™t care about what the city does and that they will go ahead with the march. This morning when we said it was illegal, they went to court. We respect the court™s decision, but we will question it.

Sutcliffe added that the City never banned the march.

œWe just wanted to go through the proper processes and ensure that it was safe. Anything can happen during a march. “ Sapa.
