A relief fund has been set up, after attacks at an informal settlement in Durban claims two lives
The Anglican Bishop of Natal, Bishop Rubin Phillip, on Tuesday announced that his church had set up a relief fund for victims of a Durban informal settlement attack which claimed at least two lives and saw many people displaced.

"Many people have fled their homes with nothing but what they could carry.

"They need urgent financial assistance. I have agreed to co-ordinate a relief fund and donations,"

The attacks have left two people fatally assaulted and stabbed, while scores were injured when about 40 men carrying assegais, knobkerries, spears and guns attacked them. They attacked the settlement during a youth camp held by the Abahlali baseMjondolo (ABM) movement.
