The district councilor, Lindile Ntsabo, declared that the protest no longer concerns "the land issue"; the protesters are now clamoring for the release of Gcobani Ndzongana and 19 other members of the community who were arrested during an initial protest.
"The land question was settled on March 27 by the Department of Human Settlements, and everyone seemed to" Friday, Prime Minister Helen Zille tried to address the angry residents of Zwelihle about escalating violence in the region. The residents did not allow her to say a word and instead of engaging her on their grievances threw stones that she was forced to give up her attempts and left.
Ntsabo added: "Some of the community members are scared, they are being held hostage, some are threatened with protesting.
Theron Mqhu, spokesperson for Zwelihle Renewal, said, "Tensions remain high in our community. People are frustrated and angry, demanding that their leaders be released from custody. "
" We support with the community that it will be a total closure until the return of Gcobani, "said Mqhu.In the patrol, police responded by firing tear gas Monday
The Hermanus Animal Welfare Society's committee issued a statement on Facebook, saying the animals were abused during the protests. "The Hermanus Animal Welfare Society condemns in the strongest terms the appalling incident where one of Zwelihle's protesters swung a cat on a rope and then threw it into a fire."
They add: "We can not identify the perpetrator of this crime, act, and we hope that there will be members of the community who will inform the police"
