The SACP In KwaZulu-Natal Issued A Statement On September 16th, Saying That It Appreciated The Positive Moves Made By The SAP Special Unit In The Richmond District. The Statement Also Said:

We hope that the arrest of sixteen people, including Sifiso Nkabinde, will bring violence and killing of people in Richmond to an end. We urge the people in the local communities to co-operate with the security forces, and bring information forward for the arrest of all those responsible for the killing of our people.

The SACP will support every move to arrest any individual, no matter how popular, as long as his or her being with the matter how popular, as long as his or her being with the community results in violence. The time to use political violence to occupy the political center stage, is buried.

Let the long arm of the law and justice take its course. Let there be peace, security, development and bread to the South African working class.
