The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) intends taking the City of Cape Town to court over its eviction policy following the forced removal of a naked man from his shack in Khayelitsha on Wednesday.
Nissen said Bulelani Qholani was stripped of all dignity when he was evicted and dragged naked from his shack.
The commission also believes it was a breach of the Disaster Management Act during the Covid-19 pandemic.
