The rail agency was ordered to restore shelter to people it evicted from Cape Town Foreshore in August.
The Passenger Rail Agency of South has been accused of contempt of court for failing to adhere to a Western Capeof 6 September to shelter families it illegally evicted in August from Transnet-owned land along Old Marine Drive in Cape Town.
But PRASA was nowhere to be seen on the weekend, and nothing has been done to date. GroundUp found people sleeping out in the cold without shelter. “Only after the 24 hours to comply with the order had expired did PRASA notify the High Court of its intention to appeal the ruling. However, no formal application for the appeal has been filed as yet,” the statement said.Ally Al-Habsy, 64, a father of three children, who had welcomed the court ruling last week, told GroundUp on Sunday: “The court made a decision and we were hoping by now they will comply … It is clear they don’t regard the law.
