//Where is SMI Western Cape in Local Struggles?//

"We will defeat the tsotsi politics that is rearing its head within our movement….Today there is nothing that will impede us from eliminating completely this cancer and reactionary forces that seek to divide our movement."

-- **Mondli Hlatshwayo**, SMI leader, referring to the Anti-Eviction Campaign and Abahlali BaseMjondolo, email, 18 December 2006

What has been the reality of 2007 in the Western Cape, comrade Mondli?

N2 Gateway residents march in Cape Town on 17 July to protest high rents for flawed flats

Joe Slovo residents return to Langa from a protest march in Cape Town, 3 August

Communities protesting Cape Town Community Housing Company march, 21 August

Joe Slovo residents contest their eviction order at the High Court, 25 September

Anti-Eviction Campaign march to Thubelitsha Homes and FNB in support of Joe Slovo residents, 28 November

AND

Where was the SMI in the Western Cape in all these demonstrations?

The SMI's poster for the national meeting of 2-5 December proclaims

"Mass struggle is the only road!"

What hypocrisy from the SMI leaders, Western Cape.
