JOHANNESBURG - A group of elderly women camped outside the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg on Saturday, demanding the government pay reparations to those who lost family members during the apartheid era.
This was as the ANC and alliance partners were picketing outside the Constitutional Court against the release of Chris Hani’s killer - Janusz Walus.Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi addressed the group and vowed to visit them on Tuesday, but one of the women expressed doubt that he would honour his promise.
"We have been sleeping on the floor as elderly people. We have chronic diseases, the president doesn't care about us. You, Panyaza [Lesufi] will not come back to address us," she said. The group has been sleeping outside the constitutional court - with no places to bath or cook their food.
From what. ? Killed in the army killed by security ? Killed as a terrorist ? What ? I lived through that period and did not like it but there were no mass killings ! And more farmers have been killed by black people than the last NAT government ever did ! They can get money also
I had a chance to talk to some of them including their leader 😭💔.. They've been sleeping there for months and 2 of their members are in hospital as we speak 😭💔
Vows 🤣.. to address 🤣🤣
Those reparations will be chowed by cadres anyways
What a joke.
