There are thousands of people who know our work locally but do not appreciate the extent of the cutbacks coming at our communities. They may begin to learn how bad things are when they see us protesting for the first time, nationally, marching for CDPs.
It comes from people involved in Community Development throughout the country as we stand up for our communities rights to fair play. The Government is playing a card-game with people's lives. Cutting funding to the poorest communities just because they are (perceived as) too weak to protest makes crude political sense, but is stinks from a moral viewpoint.
The 180 Projects in the Community Development Programme will not see out the year if the cutbacks continue.
Our CDPs are united on the issues, have organised at national level. We will stand up for disadvantaged communities nationally.
