Makause Community To March Against Police Brutality In Primrose

The Makause Creative Youth Brigade (MCYB) and the Makause Community Development Forum (Macodefo) are organising a march on Friday, 19th October 2012 against police brutality at Primrose Police Station (near Germiston in Ekurhuleni). The march forms part of the ‘One Makause, One Community Police Brutality Campaign’ under the Asihambi Land, Housing &
Zero Evictions Campaign.

Date: Friday, 19th October 2012 Time: 12h30 pm Venue: People will congregate at the Makause Sports Ground at the Makause Informal Settlement in Primrose and proceed to the Primrose Police Station to hand over a Memorandum to the Primrose SAPS.

The Makause community is uniting for a better, safer and crime-free kasi and demands:

• an end to police brutality • an end to forced bribery/corruption • proper investigation of un-attended to cases of crime • an end to police politics and support of mob groups • arrest of the mob group that attacked the Macodefo leadership and destroyed the community office • an urgent response to reported crimes.

This march to Primrose Police Station is to say:

* Enough is Enough! * Never and Never Again! * An Injury to One is an Injury to All! * Makause Cannot Be Divided by the Police! * We Have a Right to Survive/Life! * We Have the Right to Organize, Gather, Assemble, Picket & Demonstrate!
