Tensions flare between Operation Dudula, Abahlali baseMjondolo
Madondo vowed they would continue with their stance. 'We will not stop this campaign of refusing illegal foreigners from accessing health care at public healthcare facilities,' said Madondo. Despite disruptions, Operation Dudula resumed its march and proceeded to the SAHRC offices, where they were able to hand over their memorandum to SAHRC chairperson Chris Nissen, who was given 10 days to respond. Operation Dudula also raised two specific housing complaints. One involves a woman who was allegedly displaced after her house was hijacked and is now homeless. The second is a case where a woman faces eviction on July 29, allegedly because her home was given to a foreign national. Both matters are reportedly under review by the SAHRC. Nissen said the commission would study the memorandum and look into ways to address the concerns. 'We will assess what is in the memorandum and see how we can intervene or improve the current situation,' he said.
