Cape Town – There were scenes of jubilation outside the Western Cape High Court on Thursday morning as residents from the Marikana informal settlement celebrated a judgment which deemed shack demolitions by the City of Cape Town in January unlawful and unconstitutional.
The city has been interdicted from demolishing further structures without a court order. The court ordered the city to build shacks to the equivalent of those demolished by the anti-land invasion unit on January 7 and 8.
