Allegation that local councillors appoint "only ANC supporters"
The Gugulethu Anti-Eviction Campaign in Cape Town is planning a protest on 1st December against what it states is "political party corruption and rampant nepotism" in vetting by local ANC councillors of job applications for work at the new Gugulethu Square Mall.
As party of a countrywide wave of protests by local residents on local issues, the Campaign is demanding that the "job application process be open and transparent and that the local councillors are no longer in control of who does and does not get jobs". It asserts that local politicians are "selecting only CVs of ANC supporters and throwing out the CVs of other residents".
The statement by the Campaign reads:
Protest March to Gugulethu Mall to protest corrupt and anti-local job application process
Time and date: 09h00 on 1 December 2009
Venue: Assembly at Kwezi Hall. March to front of Gugulethu Mall on NY1
Tomorrow, the Gugulethu Anti-Eviction Campaign will again be protesting against the management of the new Gugulethu Square Mall. Despite efforts by the police to stop us from protesting citing 2010 events, the City of Cape Town has declared this to be a legal march.
