DURBAN - The victims of the Phoenix bloody violence said their cries for justice were completely ignored.
The committee, which was established for this purpose, said that even on the second-year anniversary of the tragedy, there was still no clarity about what actually happened. Eyewitness News also spoke to Mbuso Xaba, who was also badly assaulted by the vigilante groups that barricaded streets in area. And like many other victims, Xaba said nothing was done for them, adding that cases they opened with the police did not yield any positive results.
On 6 July, the KwaZulu-Natal Economic Freedom Fighters tabled a motion in the provincial legislature for the house to thoroughly investigate the actual cause of the violence. But KwaZulu-Natal Community Safety MEC Sipho Hlomuka claimed that the government ensured that Phoenix did not end up being a no-good zone area.
