=SACP TO HOLD A MASS RALLY IN KHUTSONG STADIUM=

South African Communist Party, Young Communist League, COSATU Unions, churches, COSAS, and other organisations that are sympathetic to the cause of the people of Merafong to remain in Gauteng Province will hold a mass rally on Sunday, 15 January 2006, at 10h00, at Khutsong Stadium.

We are expecting more than four thousand (4000) people to attend the rally. The aim of the rally would be to inform the people of Merafong on our way forward and developments around the Constitutional Court challenge and to discuss the approach on further protest actions.

Dr Yusuf Dadoo (West Rand) District of the SACP is pleased by the level of support we are getting from various provinces, districts and branches of the SACP, YCL and COSATU.

The meeting will also be addressed by the leadership of the SACP from Moutse District in Mpumalanga, who are also facing the similar challenge from the arrogance of government. The people of Moutse are being forced to belong to Limpopo despite their will to remain in Mpumalanga and the SACP in that district has always been in the forefront of leading the struggles of the communities.
