A small group of protesters in Gugulethu called on the public to boycott the new mall that has been constructed in the area.

Demonstrators plan to march to Gugulethu Square today.

The protestors say they do not understand why outsiders have been given first preference when they received jobs.

“We are still saying that we want eighty percent of the people who are working at this mall to come form Gugulethu”.

“We don’t want councilors to be involved in this matter because they are not bringing any solution, they should try and concentrate on their jobs,” said spokesperson for the Anti-Eviction Mncedisi Twalo.
