ANC spokesperson Nhlakanipho Ntombela said Reddy’s campaign on Wednesday, in which he and several supporters held banners calling for the “Phoenix heroes” to be freed, was “despicable provocation and dangerous race-baiting”.
Ntombela said: “The ANC has demanded that those responsible for the murders in Phoenix face the full might of the law. We have observed with keen interest the proceedings under way in court.
He said the ANC believes the campaign was designed as"“cheap attention-seeking by those campaigning for the local government elections”. “In the case of the murders that took place in Phoenix, those accused have been incarcerated for weeks without the option of bail. We have been in court and we have observed that in some of these cases there is insufficient or no evidence to link the accused with the murders.
