Poni lives in the QQ Section Informal Settlement in Khayelitsha.[5] Arrest in June 2009On 1 June 2009 he was arrested on the site of the Macassar Village Land Occupation and charged with public violence.[6] Abahlali baseMjondolo have claimed that the arrest was an act of political intimidation and that Poni was assaulted while in police custody.[7] On 29 September 2009 all charges against Poni were dropped. He represented himself in his trial.[8] Call for a Week of Informal Settlement's Strike in October 2010In October 2010 Abahlali baseMjondolo in Cape Town called for a month of direct action.[9] Poni publicly endorsed road blockades a legitimate tactic during this month of action.[10] The Treatment Action Campaign and the South African Communist Party, both of which are affiliated to the ruling African National Congress, issued strong statements condemning the campaign with the former labelling it 'violent'[11] and the latter labelling it 'anarchist' and reactionary'.[12] AbM responded by saying that their support for road blockades roads was not support for violence and that "We have never called for violence. Violence is harm to human beings. Blockading a road is not violence."[13] They also said that in their view the attack from the SACP was really due to the movement's insistence on organising autonomously from the African National Congress.[14] Both the TAC and SACP are allied to the ANC while AbM at first rejected all political parties and boycotted elections under the slogan No Land! No House! No Vote!. However, in 2014, AbM announced its electoral support for the Democratic Alliance. [15] See also
