RELIGIOUS leaders and the so-called “poo protesters” are to come together to lead a march in the city centre in a few weeks’ time to support informal settlement residents’ demands for better living conditions.
They have likened it to the historic “March for Peace” in September 1989, led, among others, by the then mayor of Cape Town, Gordon Oliver, who signed yesterday’s commitment to the march.
The plan for a march came out of a meeting in Bishopscourt of the Western Cape Religious Leaders Forum, Andile Lili and Loyiso Nkohla from the peoples’ rights movement Ses’khona and representatives of the 86 signatories of the Call for Action.
