### TRUTH SALUTES PRESIDENT LULA ON HIS VICTORY: A CALL FOR PEOPLE-POWER, JUSTICE AND POLITICAL CHANGE
**Date:** 26 October 2026
The Truth and Solidarity Movement (TRUTH) extends its warm congratulations and solidarity to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his political victory. We recognise the significance of political leadership that places social justice, human dignity and the interests of ordinary people at the centre of public life.
President Lula’s political journey reminds us that the struggles of working-class communities, poor families and marginalised people must never be ignored. Across the world, citizens are demanding accountable leadership, economic opportunity, dignity and governments that listen to their needs.
### FROM BRAZIL TO SOUTH AFRICA: THE PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER
The Truth and Solidarity Movement believes that South Africa needs a new chapter of political accountability, inclusive economic development and genuine service delivery.
For too long, many communities have faced unemployment, poverty, unsafe streets, inadequate housing and deep inequalities. Our people deserve more than political promises. They deserve leadership that delivers measurable results and treats every community with dignity.
TRUTH believes that political change must be achieved through democratic participation, peaceful mobilisation, transparent governance and the power of the ballot box.
### OUR MISSION: CHALLENGE THE DA IN FIVE METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES
As South Africa approaches the 2026 local government elections, the Truth and Solidarity Movement is preparing to challenge the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the country's five metropolitan municipalities:
* **City of Cape Town**
* **City of Johannesburg**
* **City of Tshwane**
* **City of Ekurhuleni**
* **eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality**
Our mission is to present voters with a credible alternative focused on jobs, housing, public safety, affordable basic services, support for small businesses and accountable municipal leadership.
We will engage communities, listen to residents and campaign for a government that measures success by improvements in people's everyday lives.
**Our message is clear: no political party should take the people for granted.** Every municipality must be judged by its record, its service delivery and its commitment to the public.
### A CALL FOR SOLIDARITY
The Truth and Solidarity Movement extends its message of solidarity to all people fighting poverty, injustice and exclusion around the world. We believe that international solidarity must be built on mutual respect, democratic values and a shared commitment to human dignity.
Our salute to President Lula is also a reminder that South Africa's future belongs to its people. The next chapter must be written through active citizenship, peaceful democratic action and a determination to build a fairer society.
**The time has come for TRUTH to offer South Africans a stronger alternative in all five metropolitan municipalities.**
**Truth. Justice. Solidarity. Accountability.**

**STATEMENT OF CONCERN — LAVENDER HILL**
## CRY, MY BELOVED LAVENDER HILL! 💔🙏
**9 PEOPLE REPORTEDLY SHOT — AWAITING OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION AND FURTHER UPDATES.**
The Truth and Solidarity Movement expresses deep concern over reports of a shooting incident involving nine people in Lavender Hill, Cape Town.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the entire Lavender Hill community.
**ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!**
How many more families must suffer? How many more children must grow up fearing gunfire? At what point do we stop breaking our communities and start rebuilding them?
We call upon SAPS to urgently investigate this incident, establish the facts, identify those responsible and bring perpetrators to justice through due process.
Lavender Hill deserves peace, safety, economic opportunity and a future free from violence.
**STOP THE KILLINGS! RESTORE PEACE! JUSTICE FOR LAVENDER HILL!**

**OFFICIAL MEDIA STATEMENT**
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
**25 OCTOBER 2026 | CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA**
## TRUTH DEMANDS URGENT CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATHS OF THREE BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN MEN AND ALLEGATIONS INVOLVING SIDNEY HILL
The Truth and Solidarity Movement (TRUTH), under the leadership of President and Cape Town Mayoral Candidate **MEHMET VEFA DAG**, calls upon the South African Police Service (SAPS), the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (HAWKS), and relevant national security authorities to conduct an urgent, comprehensive and independent investigation into the reported deaths of three Black South African men and allegations concerning a British national identified as **Sidney Hill**.
Three South African families deserve answers, accountability and justice.
We are deeply concerned by allegations surrounding the circumstances of these deaths, including claims that the deceased were previously employed by the individual named in this matter.
We further call for authorities to investigate allegations concerning Sidney Hill's immigration status, possible connections to British intelligence services, and his reported whereabouts. **These allegations, including claims of an association with MI6, have not been independently verified and must not be treated as established facts.**
### OUR DEMANDS
**1. URGENT CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION**
SAPS and the HAWKS must establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the three men, identify any persons criminally responsible, and ensure that sufficient evidence is presented to the National Prosecuting Authority.
**2. ESTABLISH THE WHEREABOUTS OF SIDNEY HILL**
We demand that law enforcement establish Sidney Hill's current whereabouts and determine whether there are lawful grounds for his arrest, questioning or other investigative action.
**3. INVESTIGATE ALLEGED BRITISH INTELLIGENCE CONNECTIONS**
We call upon the State Security Agency and relevant authorities to determine whether there is any credible evidence supporting allegations of connections to MI6 or other foreign intelligence organisations.
What was the nature and purpose of Sidney Hill's reported activities in Pinetown, Durban? Were any foreign intelligence activities involved? These questions require evidence-based answers.
**4. EXAMINE ALLEGATIONS OF MANIPULATED VIDEO EVIDENCE**
Claims that artificial intelligence or manipulated footage may have been used to misrepresent the events must be examined through independent digital forensic analysis. Original recordings, metadata and relevant evidence must be preserved.
**5. INVESTIGATE ALL POSSIBLE ACCOMPLICES**
Any individual found, through credible evidence, to have participated in unlawful killings, obstruction of justice, concealment of evidence or other criminal conduct must face appropriate legal proceedings.
**6. JUSTICE FOR THE THREE FAMILIES**
The families of the deceased deserve dignity, transparent communication, appropriate support and justice through the courts.
### NO ONE IS ABOVE SOUTH AFRICAN LAW
The Truth and Solidarity Movement maintains that nationality, race, wealth, political influence or alleged foreign intelligence connections must never place any individual beyond the reach of South African law.
We demand that the authorities investigate without fear, favour or prejudice.
**We demand truth. We demand accountability. We demand justice for the three deceased South African men.**
Any arrest or prosecution must be supported by lawful evidence, and all accused persons remain entitled to the presumption of innocence and due process.
The Truth and Solidarity Movement calls upon the relevant authorities to provide a public update on the status of this matter, subject to the requirements of an ongoing criminal investigation.
**JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL. THREE LIVES MATTER.**
