Provincial leaders of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in KwaZulu-Natal will embark on a peaceful march of solidarity in Phoenix, north of Durban, on Thursday against those involved in criminal acts which saw 36 people killed during the recent unrest.

This after members of the party met church leaders in Phoenix on Wednesday afternoon amid growing concerns of fuelling racial tensions already strained after it emerged that most of the murder victims were from informal settlements around the mainly Indian township.

“We were asked by the clergy in Phoenix to attend the meeting, in fact it was beyond just church leaders from Phoenix. Some pastors came from the south and north coasts due to their concerns about what has been happening. They wanted us to explain what our purpose was as they wanted to hear a message of peace.”

Pastor Kevin Chetty told TimesLIVE that the meeting was well received by the EFF and they were pleased with the outcome of the engagements. The EFF's initial poster on the left versus their amended poster on the right following their meeting with church leaders in Phoenix“Organisers have confirmed that Reddy will be accommodated at the march and will be afforded VIP status. He will also be given the platform to address those present.”

“The vast majority of South Africans want nothing to do with this ANC factional battle, and they certainly do not want to get caught up in any violence. It is therefore imperative that this is stopped before it turns into a full-blown race war. I believe it is within the SAHRC’s mandate to step in and stop this march. And if they feel they do not have the power to do so by themselves they must seek an urgent interdict from the court.

The racial tensions in Phoenix should be condemned at all cost, though the EFF just want to settle petty political scores.
