COSATU has all systems in place for the Rondebosch Common protest
3rd February 2012
The protest at the Rondebosch Common will proceed tomorrow at 11h00 to 14h00.There will be a number of organisations raising their concerns around housing in the City. We will also be expressing our concerns about the restrictions on the right to protest and the brutality of the police on the people of the working People of the City. The protest will be peaceful and no occupation of the land will take place.
The various organisations will be raising their demands in relation to the concerns in the City failure to deliver to the desperate needs of people and the absence of spending of the budget of the City. This incompetence of the City must be challenged if service delivery is to improve.
The Mayor has confirmed that she will be receiving the memorandum at 12h00
