#GugulethuProtest: Land invaders target Mzoli's

[schumi]

Cape Town - A week of land invasions escalated to an attack on a prominent Gugulethu businessman's eatery.

Tensions boiled over when people protesting over land torched a car, looted a shop and caused an unknown amount of damage to Mzoli’s.

NY 108 in Gugulethu was the scene of violent protests on Sunday after residents claimed that a shopping centre would be built on the land on which Mzoli’s was operating.

Residents have been protesting for more than a week over the lack of adequate land for them to build houses on. Illegal structures were erected and subsequently demolished by the City’s anti-land invasion unit.

Backyarders took to the streets last week, barricading Klipfontein Road and NY 108 with burning debris, stones and bus shelters.

Go and burn the one place there that's bringing in tourists / visitors.
Not even any respect for their fellow community members.

I got stuck in this on the way back from the Oak Valley XL trail run. Fortunately I was quite close to the front when the N2 was cordoned off and we were diverted along Borcherd's Quarry so I didn't get stuck for too long. Still, fckin inconvenient just so some ill mannered animals can try make a point.

FFS.. the total short sightedness of this... boggles the mind still...

Mzoli's brings in tourists and money by the truck load... it should be protected at all costs in my opinion.

First they came for the whites, then the indians, then the coloureds and finally the blacks. Nobody is safe, we've seen this before in other african countries. Such is life in africa, primal.
