- Description
- COSATU and UDF say, A climate for creating peace is slowly being established. But at the same time, a number of anti-peace forces are working to undermine our efforts. For years the police have been fanning the violence in Natal. In 1987 when peace talks with Inkatha were taking place they detained our leaders - thus sabotaging the peace talks. Throughout South Africa, the state has created and supported vigilante groups aimed at destroying progressive organisations. Now, after all the harm they have caused, they are trying to take credit for the peace that has recently been established in Tshongweni. In Mpumalanga, members of the Special Branch are attempting to hold peace talks with members of our organisations. We say that the police cannot be the agent of lasting peace. Peace will only come about when the organisations which are most affected come together and decide how peace can be enforced. The recent police shootings at Natal University, Cape Town, Pietermaritzburg and other areas remind us thgt the police are prepared to kill to save apartheid.
