A school in rural Eastern Cape combats their faction fighting problem through the Youth Citizens Action Programme methodology and platform
Isolomzi Senior Secondary School’s Grade 10 Y-CAP team from Kentani Village, near Butterworth in the Eastern Cape embarked on a faction fighting awareness project in 2014. They managed to get the police to give some community members community police rights to confiscate weapons. They also did door-to-door visits and communical gatherings to stop the tribal fighting. Their success was confirmed by the police and the community members who say that the problem was dealt with to such an extent that it is not a challenge anymore.
