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.
Phoenix aint scared of the EFF come on now, really Malema should be frontline or we dont take any of you serious ever again.
Knowing the pandemonium that EFF marches have caused before elsewhere in country I am sure this march won't be without incident. They are going past the mall en route to police station The temptation will be too much. Hopefully plenty security/SAPS
