Cape Judge President John Hlope will only decide in 2008 whether the residents of Joe Slovo will be evicted or not. This follows an application for an eviction order against the residents of the informal settlement by the Minister of Housing, Western Cape Housing MEC and State-owned property developer Thubelisha Homes.
The three want permission from the court to evict and relocate Joe Slovo residents to temporary shelter in Delft.
Earlier the judge dealt the community's efforts to remain on the contested land a major blow. He dismissed the community's application against the eviction without costs.
The community challenged the validity of an agreement between the City of Cape Town, the Western Cape Housing Department and Thubelisha Homes. The residents have already informed Hlope of their intention to apply for leave to appeal this decision. - SABC
