South Africa: ANC Statement On the Atrocious Attack On a Mosque in Kwazulu-Natal

press release

The African National Congress condemns in the strongest terms the ghastly and vicious attack on a mosque in Verulam, Durban. This unjustified ambush which led to one death and two serious injuries was intended to make this community to live in fear based on their religious beliefs. Witness accounts clearly indicate that the savagery visited on the mosque was well orchestrated at a time when Muslims were in prayer.

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion. An attack on the mosque or any other place of worship must be strongly condemned as it seeks to undermine this fundamental right.
