The Johannesburg High Court has reserved judgment on a case brought by a group of ‘park dwellers’ against the police for standing by idly and not intervening when they were illegally evicted from the Alberts Farm Conservancy last month.
JOHANNESBURG - The Johannesburg High Court has reserved judgment in a case brought by a group of ‘park dwellers’ against the police for standing by idly and not intervening when they were illegally evicted from the Alberts Farm Conservancy last month.
They have now settled with the city and the JMPD, which have agreed to pay them each R1,800 in compensation. The SAPS’ position is, that while officers from within their ranks were there that day, they were only monitoring the situation and weren’t actually involved in the operation. But attorney Kelly Kropman for the ‘park dwellers’ countered that the police had a duty to her clients as well.
