While responding to an illegal land invasion in Mfuleni on Thursday, City of Cape Town law enforcement officers were attacked by those invading the land.
Mayor Dan Plato said that the land invasion was supported by the Economic Freedom Fighters , who have also joined the South African Human Rights Commission’s court case, which seeks to interdict the City from conducting any and all anti-land invasion operations.
"In a separate court case brought by land invaders in Hangberg this week, the judge ruled that an illegally built structure which had been demolished must be rebuilt on city-owned land. This is despite two alternatives being offered by the City. "The City’s logsheets on land invasions show we are currently facing eight or more illegal land invasions a day across the metro, stretching our resources to the limit."
