The City of Cape Town will square off with the Human Rights Commission and the EFF in the Western Cape High Court today to determine the right of land owners to evict illegal land invaders without a court order.
“As a result, the applicants have a reasonable apprehension that Judge Slingers is biased. This does not arise primarily from Slingers’ husband's position at the City, but from Judge Slingers’ failure to disclose the relationship, and failure to concede there was even an obligation on her to disclose it,” said Gaum.
The actual counter-spoliation matter has not yet commenced as they needed to conclude the recusal matter first.tried to get Slingers to comment on the matter, but her registrar said she was still busy in the court. Mayor Dan Plato said the SAHRC and EFF were looking to set a very dangerous precedent, not only for all landowners but also for the sustainability of their communities and cities.
“The Supreme Court of Appeal has consented to hear our appeal against the interdictory relief, and the City is confident that existing property protection rights will ultimately be upheld as both reasonable and constitutional,” said Plato.
