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.
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”. The demonstration organiser, Sibusiso Xabangela, said they believed that the arrest and content of the charges were not motivated by a principled sense of justice but by rampant abuse of power.
According to the KZN's National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, the state was opposed to bail.
