R2K Champions 2016: Glebelands Community Leaders
“Senzeni na eGlebelands?”
More than 2000 people have been directly affected by the Glebelands violence, which has, since March 2014, claimed 55 lives plus led to hundreds of illegal evictions.
This horrific string of assassinations of Glebelands hostel residents has left rural families traumatised and without breadwinners. However, there have been no convictions or conclusive action from the government to end the violence. Glebelands has been allowed to become a war zone for political plunder while the state remains silent.
The Glebelands Community asks for donations to assist the affected families and survivors. Please donate here.
We salute the slain comrades and their families for their efforts to speak truth to power and their struggle for justice, peace and accountability.
We urge all South Africans to take a collective stand and call on the government to ‘STOP THE KILLINGS’. Read more here.
The Glebelands Community is featured in the 2016 Champions for the Right to Know Calendar.
