Abahlali Base Mjondolo said the Madlala Village in Lamontville in Durban is under attack by the same crew that attacked Cato Crest this morning.

Madlala Village Community Leader MaMkhize Nxumalo said Kennedy Road residents were attacked in 2009 after their victory in the Constitutional Court. Now residents of Cato Crest and Madlala Village are under attack after their victory.

Nxumalo said this attack does not come as a surprise. We celebrate victories in court with caution as we know what comes next.

Nxumalo added that this is a war on the organised poor who are standing up for their rights.
