Brutal Attack on the Phumula Mqashi Land Occupation in
Tembisa
 
The Phumula Mqashi Land Occupation in Tembisa on the East
Rand was founded on 13 February 2018. It has been coming
under sustained, illegal and often violent attack from the
Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD). Shacks and
people’s possessions have been repeatedly burnt.
 
We have taken the EMPD a lawyer’s letter informing them that
their actions are illegal but it has made no difference. They
returned today, at around 10:00, and stayed until 12:50. They
burned 266 shacks and assaulted almost everyone. They used
tear gas and rubber bullets. They even chased elderly people
and pregnant women. Many of us are injured. One person has
been very badly assaulted. They undressed him and then
started beating him up.They burnt all our belonging including
mattresses, clothes and children’s stuff for school.
 
This is a war on the poor. We will not turn back and we will
continue to occupy the land. There is no future behind us. The
future lies in front of us and our courage will take us there.
 
The registration numbers of the vehicles used by the JMPD in
this illegal and violent attack are CP 15 ND GP, RF 23 PW GP
and XTY 092 GO.
 
The Ekurhuleni Municipality on the East Rand is mobilising the
same brutal repression against impoverished people who are
occupying land as the eThekwini Municipality in Durban. They
will meet the same resistance if they continue to choose
violence over negotiation.
