Statement: Abahlali baseMjondolo Arrests
Afrikagrupperna is concerned to learn of the arrests of three members of the movement on 4 May, including Deputy President, George Bonono, Siniko Miya and Maphiwe Gasela. They were arrested on allegations of ‘conspiracy to commit murder’ following witness statements. They were repeatedly denied bail, until bail was granted to Bonono and Gasela on 20 May.
