Statement by Abahlali baseMjondolo President S'bu Zikode -- Sept. 30, 2009

A statement by Abahlali baseMjondolo President S'bu Zikode. S'bu and his family have been living as refugees since the recent mob violence targeting Abahlali leaders at Kennedy Road Settlement in Durban, South Africa. Here he appeals for continued support for the Shack Dwellers Movement in these dire times of government repression and lies. It can be said without exaggeration that it appears the so-called democratic government of South Africa is attempting to silence and disband the country's largest social movement of the poor.

AbM are heroes. They are an example of the true fire of the human spirit.

So the educated use their education to keep the uneducated from going to school. That's sickening!

AbM has my support, for what little that's worth.
