Illegal occupants of houses in Marikana stand to be evicted
Occupants of the houses in Marikana have until next week Thursday, 28 April to inform the court why they must not be evicted from the houses that they have been illegally occupying since early this year.
The North West Hight Court issued out an interim eviction order in February, against all illegal occupants of the houses in Marikana after the Rustenburg local municipality filed for an urgent application for an eviction order against any other persons who has illegally occupied the Breaking New Ground housing units in Marikana Extension 2.
Through the interim order ordered the illegal occupants to:
- be interdicted and/or restrained from occupying any or all of the incomplete houses being constructed
- be interdicted and or restrained from gaining access and or on the property upon which incomplete houses are being constructed
- Any other person who supports the illegal occupants and who has taken unlawful occupation of incomplete houses at Marikana Extention 2 be evicted
- The Acting MEC for Local Government and Human Settlements, Fenny Gaolaolwe has appealed to the occupants to respect the court decision
