Lede van PAC uiteen gejaag Ongeveer 40 lede van die Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) het Woensdagoggend by die Brackenfelltreinstasie byeengekom in ’n poging om ’n optog na die Hoërskool Brackenfell te hou teen beweerde rassisme in die skool asook in die Brackenfell-gemeenskap. Hulle het die polisie se waarskuwings dat hulle nie toestemming het vir die optog nie verontagsaam en steeds na die skool probeer beweeg. Die polisie het hulle toe op die hoek van Paradys- en Frans Conradierylaan voorgekeer en met die gebruik van skokgranate en onlusteskilde na die stasie teruggedryf. Van die PAC-lede het klippe na die polisie gegooi. FOTO: JACO MARAIS
EFF READY FOR COURT: ‘CITY IS CHILDISH AND FOOLISH...’
City wants to sue EFF DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
T
he EFF said they were ready to meet the City of Cape Town head on in court to defend a civilian action for damages to be brought against them by the City, after the protests in Brackenfell. During an interview with TygerBurger, EFF Western Cape chair, Melikhaya Xego said the City by pursuing such a lawsuit, acted in a “clownish, foolish and childish manner”.

“The EFF had applied for a permit to protest, something neither the Cape Party did who was also present, nor the protesters who marched to parliament against farm murders earlier this year. At our first protest we were assaulted by people who didn’t at all apply for a limit to their gathering, but nothing happened to them,” he said. Executive mayor of Cape Town Dan Plato on Friday said the City was intending a civilian suit against the EFF to recover costs for damages done to municipal property. He also encouraged private property owners who
suffered damages to join the City in the lawsuit. “Preliminary reports indicate a fire engine was torched, roads and traffic lights were damaged, and a field was set alight by EFF protesters. Car dealership windows were smashed at the corner of Paradys and Old Paarl Road, with private vehicles damaged due to stoning and several shops looted,” Plato said in a statement to the media on Friday 20 November. He said the City is in the process of determining the costs of damages to municipal property.

Plato strongly condemned the violent actions and violation of agreed conditions on the number of protesters and the EFF’s own commitment of non-violence. This, after Judge Siraj Desai refused to grant an urgent interdict against Friday’s protest on the basis that there would be no violence. “The EFF made it clear that they have no regard for the rule of law, and the City manager has indicated to me that senior officials are assessing the cost of the damage to city infrastructure,” said Plato.
