Press Statement

=MERAFONG AND MOUTSE JOINT MARCH IN PRETORIA=

The people of Merafong and Moutse, led by the SACP districts of both Dr Yusuf Dadoo (West Rand) and Moutse, will be marching tomorrow, Friday 21 April 2006 to submit the memorandum of demands to both President Mbeki and Minister Mufamadi, at Union Buildings, Pretoria, at 11h00.

This is to take forward the grievances of the people that they do not want to be forcefully incorporated into the provinces of North West and Limpopo. There will also be stay away at both Merafong and Moutse on Friday 21 April 2006. Everybody will be going to Pretoria.

We are making a call to the president and his Mr Mufamadi to listen to the people. The arrogance displayed by government on this matter is a clear indication that they (government) are determined to undermine the people. We have come a long way with our democratic South Africa and we will stop at nothing to realise what we have fought for. No decision can be made about us without us. We are determined to fight government on this matter to the bitter end.
