Cape Town - Land activists representing land justice movements and land occupations in 17 areas across the city, demonstrated outside Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Thursday, in solidarity with their leaders, who appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court in KwaZulu-Natal.
Two leaders, Mqapheli Bonono and Siniko Miya, whose matter was postponed to Monday, were arrested on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder following alleged witness statements made about the content of a meeting they chaired in March.
Right2Know spokesperson Busi Mtabane condemned “the unwarranted and seemingly alleged politically motivated arrests of Abahlali Basemjondolo’s Deputy President Bonono and Miya on what appeared to be fabricated charges”.
