IDPADA-G stripped of venue for town hall meeting
Dear Editor,
The Irfaan Ali Administration has once again shown its hand on its disposition to IDPADA-G and the People of African Descent.
IDPADA-G has organised a town hall meeting at GITC on Sun., Feb 26 to discuss land issues affecting the people of African descent. On the eve of the meeting, IDPADA-G has been advised that the venue is no longer available. No explanation has been offered.
IDPADA-G from its very inception, in 2018, had held its public engagements at that venue.
This denial has come in the wake of the withdrawal of the Government subvention as of Sept, 2022 and a smear campaign against the organisation.
In that campaign, IDPADA-G has been accused of not delivering to the people of African descent. The withdrawal of permission to use a public space is in fact an attempt to hamper IDPADA-G from carrying out its mandate by those who have publicly accused IDPADA-G of not carrying out its mandate. It also flies in the face of the constitutional rights of association and assembly.
IDPADA-D will not wilt under this relentless attack.
Yours sincerely,
Vincent Alexander
Chair
IDPADA-G
