1. Victory in Court!
On Friday, beginning at around 10 am, the notorious Security
Management Unit illegally, brutally and violently evicted more than 40
families in the Barcelona 2 'transit camp'. The eviction was carried out
until 1 am in the morning on Saturday. A number of people were
wounded during the attack.
This morning Abahlali baseMjondolo went to court in defence of our
members. We defeated the eThekwini Municipality in court. The
movement has obtained a spoilation order to reinstate our members
who have been illegally evicted by the Municipality. The court
ordered that those who were illegally evicted in Barcelona 2 must be
reinstated, and that the municipality does not carry out any further
evictions in the area.
