The Western Cape High Court considered an eviction application by Transnet SOC Ltd concerning people occupying several of its properties in Woodstock and Salt River. The judgment records evidence about alleged criminal activity in the area and says the eviction was granted, with an order for vacant occupation to be restored by 30 September 2026.
It may be relevant to property, eviction, housing and public law practitioners because the judgment discusses a just and equitable enquiry in an occupation matter involving emergency accommodation and disputed personal circumstances.
