AWAY WITH THE COUNCILLOR: Angry residents of Ward 53 march to Clr Gladstone Zide’s office, demanding his removal.

EDEN PARK – The aim of the march, on May 19, was to hand over a memorandum of demands, which included the removal of the Ward 53 councillor, and that he hands over of his office keys.

Residents also demanded the release of all those arrested for the assault of Zide, that took place on March 27.

Attached to the latest memorandum was a copy of the demands first made on February 18, when another march, also aimed at the removal of the councillor, was undertaken.
