Abahlali baseMjondolo has often been attacked by the state and landlords of various kinds. But now the movement is under attack from members of Inkatha - the right wing Zulu nationalist movement. AbM - is a highly diverse movement in terms of ethnicity, nationality, race, gender and age. An eruption of this diversity, not to mention democracy, in the heartland of Inkatha has been received as a direct challenge. The movement is currently sheltering two militants who are being hunted by Inkatha members. They are being hidden in a secret location. They are also fears for the safety of S'bu Zikode. Mnikelo Ndabankulu and Zodwa Nsibande, two of the AbM activists who were detained against their will and threatened with death, will be in London later this month to give a series of talks and to meet with poor people's organisations here.National Identity Scheme Relaunched
