The Supreme Court of Appeal has dashed Cape Town land occupiers’ hopes of R2,000 city council payouts for the loss of personal possessions.
The city admitted it seized the land occupiers’ building materials but denied taking their personal possessions when it demolished their structures.
The confiscation of building material relates to “demolitions at Mfuleni, commonly known as Zwelethu, Ocean View, and the demolition of Mr Qolani’s property”. This culminated in an interim interdict authorising the city to demolish any illegally erected structures on the CapeNature land, prevent people entering the area and remove such people and their belongings, the city said.
