Gugulethu — Earlier today, MEC for Housing Whitey Jacobs finally showed up at our weekly mass meeting that is held in the Gugulethu Sports Complex. In the packed room, people were finally able to speak directly to the person who has the ability to improve their lives.
The people are angry about being neglected and ignored. But they spoke of their demands and their rights as citizens of this country.
We are building democracy here from the ground up. We are forcing the government to listen to the words of the poor. If power conceeds nothing with out a demand, then here are our demands:
No Land! No House! No Vote!
We will speak!
The people shall speak for themselves!
