The ANCWL condemns in the strongest possible terms the demolishing of
people’s homes in Lenasia. This destruction of people’s homes cannot be
justified in a humane society.

ANCWL President, Angie Motshekga has engaged with ANCWL NEC member,
Premier Nomvula Mokonyane who explained that all legal processes have been
followed. However the Women’s League believes, despite the legal processes
undertaken a more humane solution needs to be found to deal with the
situation. Reducing people’s homes to rubble and leaving families homeless
is cruel.


The ANCWL wants the demolishing to stop and a more human resolution found.

The ANCWL will be getting in touch with the Human Rights Commission and we
will be supporting them in their urgent court interdict application to
stop this process, and we will join other civic organisations to protect the
homes of other families’ houses which have been earmarked for demolition.


The President of the Women’s League has further undertaken to hold
meetings with the different stakeholders to stop this demolishing of houses
continuing and find a solution to this impasse.
