The fight, which was taken to court, started about three years ago when the residents saw 'abandoned houses'.
Residents of Kosmos in Standerton, Mpumalanga, have approached the Constitutional Court to nullify an eviction order that allows Eskom to evict them from “illegally” occupied houses.A confrontation ensued between the occupiers last week with the police and officials from the sheriff of the court, following the residents’ refusal to vacate the houses.
“Kindly note that the respondents are hereby giving a notice of their intention to oppose this matter,” the document read.Commenting on the issue for the first time since the squabble started, Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said the power utility would continue to push the residents out of the houses because they had not been permitted to use them.
