Diakonia Council of Churches vows to continue work amid threats
The Diakonia Council of Churches says it's leaving the door open for talks with Operation Dudula members on the subject of foreign nationals.
Operation Dudula members in KZN and the All Truck Drivers Forum marched to the Diakonia on Thursday, calling on the council to stop supporting foreign nationals.
The centre is an inner-city facility with social cohesion and social justice tenants such Black Sash, Lawyers for Human Rights and refugee social services.

The council's chairperson Reverend Musa Zondi says they're being accused of things that don't involve them.
"There is no way in which we can stop doing what we are doing and there are reasons for doing so. As much as we respect where they are coming from, we also want them to respect where we are coming from."
