Court Order Compelling Senior Municipal and Police Officials to Explain Why They Must not Either Obey the Law or Go to Jail

We have won an order in the High Court that requires the head of the Land Invasions Unit, the Municipal Manager and the Station Commander of the Cato Manor Police Station to show on 12 September if there is any good reason why they should not either be committed to prison for 30 days or comply with the court order issued against them on 2 September. That order prohibits them from evicting people in Cato Crest and forces them to rebuild the shacks that they have demolished.
