Show of strength outside court
Shanti Aboobaker, Leila Samodien and Lauren Isaacs
THEY came en masse, bearing placards and chanting as they gathered on the steps of the Western Cape High Court yesterday.
This as about 300 members of the Mitchells Plain Backyarders Association – supported by the Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign, Communities for Social Change, the Mandela Park Backyarders and Abahlali baseMjondolo associations – waited outside the court to hear the outcome of the case in which they face being removed from land they were occupying illegally.
