Statement: R2K KZN supports Glebelands residents’ call to the UN Human Rights Committee!

R2K KZN supports Glebelands residents’ call to the UN Human Rights Committee. The attacks on human rights in Glebelands Hostel must end and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

The people of Glebelands have sent an urgent appeal to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the International Community to intervene to ensure that the South African government addresses the torrid situation and prioritize peace in Glebelands.

At least 62 people have been reported to have been assassinated leaving families traumatized and without breadwinners. Glebelands has been allowed to become a war zone for political plunder and the government is silent. These killings cannot continue unabated. The continued intimidation of the hostel residents, their families and friends must also end.

We call on the people of South Africa to stand in solidarity with Glebelands Hostel. R2K KZN will be hosting a series of pickets and we call on the community members to come out in numbers to support the call for peace.

We also appeal for donations in support of the affected Glebelands community:
