South African police arrest squatters
July 5, 2001 - 6:11pm -- Uncle Fluffy
nomadlab writes: "Police in South Africa have arrested about 70 squatters on land near Johannesburg, a day before the Pretoria High Court is to hear the government's application to evict them.
The squatters put up no resistance and there was no violence, police spokeswoman Mary Martins-Engelbrecht told the Reuters news agency.
Thousands of poor black South Africans have moved onto the land since the opposition Pan Africanist Congress began registering claims for the sum of 25 rand - about three dollars.
The government charges that the PAC is aiding an illegal land grab, while the opposition party said the land "belongs to Africans"."
