Henry Booysen12 September
The situation at the Joe Slovo informal settlement seems to be escalating out of control, after police have arrested the Joe Slovo task team leader Mzwanele Zulu.
Last night Zulu went to the Langa police station to enquire whether the community could have a general meeting inside the settlement to discuss the way forward, after police agreed and said they would not harass or attack anyone at the meeting, they swooped Zulu and arrested him on his way home.
“The police arrested Mzwanele and he will appear in court tomorrow, we want to help but we cant,” said Mapasa Zulu, Mzwanele’s brother
The Langa police station has said that they arrested Zulu and he has since been charged with public violence.
Mapasa Zulu says that the residents of the Joe Slovo informal settlement are afraid to leave their houses as dozens of police have been occupying the settlement.
