The piece of land is situated near the Grasmere Toll Plaza in the south of Johannesburg.
Midvaal municipality has approached the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg to remove a group of people who have illegally occupied a piece of land in Elandsfontein.
Motsamai said the occupations started on 7 June, which forced property owners in Elandsfontein to obtain a court order on 19 June. “There are still invasions taking place now. Property owners are complaining that the invaders are now forcefully taking portions of their yards. We don’t allow land invasions because they will later protest, demanding services.
