Amadiba Crisis Committee: “We are in solidarity with the Jama community protests against Sanral!”
Since Monday 22 October, the residents of Jama community in inland Amadiba area have been blocking the works for the building of the Mtentu giant bridge. The blockade continued today.
The people of Jama demand that Sanral keeps it promises of giving the jobs to the locals. They demand:
- The security with big guns must leave the site! The children are very scared when they go to school and local adults as well.
- The Project Liaison Committee and the Project Liaison Officer Mr Zeka Mnyamana must be changed! The PLO and PLO must be elected by the community.
- Sanral’s truck driving testing officer must leave. All experienced local drivers are failing his “tests”. Nobody knows why.
Watch video of the blockade on the Amadiba Crisis Committee's Facebook page.
