Zwelihle Renewal has confirmed to
\nHermanus Times on Friday (17 August) that there will be no riots. There are
\nalso no plans for stay-away action on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are rumours of riots.
\nThis is not true,\u201d says Nomawethu Lamani, a member of the Zwelihle Renewal
\ncommittee. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A voice note and WhatsApp messages
\nhave been doing the rounds, claiming that a community meeting at the Zwelihle
\nTaxi Rank last night (Thursday 16 August) was not well attended and the planned stay-away action for
\nFriday was cancelled. The message further claims there is a strong possibility
\nof stay-away action on Monday and that there have been threats of riots if Gcobani is found guilty on charges of inciting violence and damage to public property. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamani however, strongly denies this. She says last night\u2019s
\nmeeting was cancelled due to the rain. The meeting will take place on Sunday
\nand is only for those who wish to support Gcobani Ndzogana at his court appearance on Monday in Stellenbosch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe do not have time for protesting. We are busy helping community members who lost their jobs to approach the CCMA. We are also assisting those who claim police brutality to make a case with IPID (Independent Police Investigative Directorate).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Lamani, Zwelihle Renewal is \u201cready to sit around the table\u201d and discuss the issues. She says they are waiting for Police Minister Bheki Cele to convene a meeting with the Ministers of Labour, Justice and Education. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
