File photo.The Socio-Economic Rights Institute of SA has temporarily shut its offices amid accusations that City of Johannesburg councillor Nkululeko Mbundu is inciting violence against its staff.Threats allegedly started on Wednesday after they settled a case against the removal of 400 informal traders from the De Villiers precinct in the Johannesburg CBD.
According to Seri, the order was executed that afternoon, when Seri’s clients returned to their stalls. Seri spokesperson Nomzamo Zondo said by Friday morning tweets with pictures of each Seri staffer were being circulated and people were encouraged to “follow us home from the office and take pictures of where we live if they happen to see us; visit and burn down our office, while a screenshot with our address was circulated.
