War on Want and supporters demonstrated outside the SoutH African embassy in London against the police killing of 17 year-old girl Nqobile Nzuza and the arrest of Bandile Mdlalose of shack dwellers' organisation, Abahlali baseMjondolo. Organiser's statement below: South African Police have shot dead a 17 year old girl, Nqobile Nzuza and arrested the Secretary General of War on Want partner, Abahlali baseMjondolo, Bandile Mdlalose. Nqobile was shot twice from behind at 5am on Monday 30 September. Two other women were also shot and are in hospital. Bandile was arrested whilst coming to offer her condolences to the family. The crime of those shot was to protest against being forcefully removed from their homes and to be supporters of the shack-dwellers movement, Abahlali baseMjondolo. Nqobile is the third person killed in the settlement, Cato Crest, this year. This is just the latest outrage perpetrated against the urban dispossessed of South Africa, Marikana being just one horrific example. Abahlali baseMjondolo Solidarity UK and War on Want call on all those who supported the struggle against apartheid, all who are against forced evictions, and those who are angered by police brutality to join our solidarity demonstration on Thursday 3 October, outside South Africa House at 4:30pm until 7pm.
