In March 2020, a group of approximately 210 occupiers of a building belonging to the City of Cape Town were evicted following a Court Order [obtained pre-lockdown]. They were also denied leave to appeal the decision to evict them. The residents were left without alternative accommodation. (Source: data from PILS hotline). | ||||||||||
