Jubilation erupted outside the Cape High Court this afternoon, as over 1,000 Joe Slovo residents burst into song at the news that a positive ruling in their review application of government's agreements with Thubelisha Homes, could mean the end of bids to have them evicted.
Cape Judge President John Hlope earlier adjourned the matter, saying a ruling in favour of the community would be the end of the matter. However, he extracted promises from all the legal representatives to be ready to go ahead with the main application, which is the eviction order application, should he rule otherwise.
Community leader Mzwanele Zulu says they are optimistic of a positive outcome.
The department of housing has handed the land over to Thubelitsha Homes to develop. The National Housing Department, Western Cape Housing Department and Thubelisha Homes are applying for the removal of Joe Slovo residents to Delft, 30km away. That is to make way for the development of the bonded houses. - SABC
