'Squatters, volunteer to relocate' Sisulu: That's not what I said! Protest spokesperson arrested Sisulu threatens forced removal Calm after Cape Town protests

Cape Town - Two activists of the Joe Slovo Task Team arrested for public violence have been released on warning, their organisation said on Thursday.

Mzwanele Zulu and Mncedi Diko appeared in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate's court in Cape Town on Thursday.

The case against them was postponed to October 3, to enable police to investigate the case further.

The pair were arrested on Tuesday night following a violent protest in which the N2 highway in Cape Town was barricaded and a number of houses under construction at the N2 Gateway housing project were damaged.

Zulu and Diko, members of the Joe Slovo Task Team, a civic body at the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa, were arrested after they went to the police station to inform police that the community wanted to have a general meeting at the settlement to discuss the way forward following their march on Monday.

On their way home police arrested them.

Joe Slovo residents are objecting to relocation to Delft to make way for the N2 Gateway housing project, saying they would be far from affordable public transport, job opportunities, schools and clinics and far from the city.
