This weekend the eight people that burnt to death in two shack fires in Cato Crest will be buried. This weekend we will continue to rebuild the Kennedy Road settlement after two fires in two weeks. We do not accept that the poor must burn in shack fires. This is not God’s will. We cannot be silent while facing these fires. If we were silent we would have no right to exist.
