The eviction of a group of people who set up homes on privately owned land in Stellenbosch, allegedly without permission, was underway on Sunday.
The owners of Louiesenhof Wines, whose website says it was founded in 1701, obtained an urgent interdict on Saturday to remove unoccupied structures, and to prevent more people from moving onto a vacant portion of their property known as “Watergang”.
“Police acted in execution of the court interdict which limited the Sherrif to only removing material of people not yet residing on the property, but had intended to erect a structure on the property,” said Western Cape police spokesperson Captain FC Van Wyk.
“The interdict didn’t authorise the demolition of any shacks and therefore only the building materials of those who did not voluntarily remove their building materials were confiscated,” he said.
A person who answered the phone did not want to comment, but their attorney Ernest van Staden said more than 100 structures had been erected on the trust-owned land. The Western Cape High Court granted an interdict on Saturday to clear the way for eviction from the land.
In terms of the order granted, those already in their structures could stay; the eviction order authorised the removal of unoccupied structures; and it stated that no more structures be built on the site.
The land is on the outskirts of the Western Cape town known for its wine and academia. Its website says the ancestral land is part of a family trust that includes Watergang Farm, Louiesenhof Small Holding and the Watergang Cellar. Louiesenhof is a member of the Stellenbosch Wine Route, the South African Brandy Route and also the South African Exporters Association.
The alleged attempted occupation comes as Parliament’s Constitutional Review Committee seeks comment nationally on whether there should be an amendment of Section 25 of the Constitution to allow for expropriation of land without compensation.
Municipal Manager Geraldine Mettler told News24 that Watergang is the subject of ongoing negotiations for a possible sale between the owner and the municipality. The current interdict is the second the owner has obtained to prevent unauthorised settlement. The first was in May when the municipality also obtained interdicts to prevent unauthorised settlement on land owned by the municipality.
The Stellenbosch municipality has around 22 000 people on its housing waiting list, according to a statement released in May.
It has been trying to restart a project to move residents of Kayamandi block by block to a Temporary Relocation Area (TRA) to allow for upgrades to utilities in Kayamandi.
The TRA structures were meant to house these residents while improvements to services and utilities in Kayamandi were done. They had to move temporarily because it would be dangerous for residents to be around the electrical wires and other works, the municipality explained at the time.
The plan is that they would move back, and the next block of residents would move to the TRA until the entire suburb’s utilities had been upgraded.
However, unrest in Kayamandi started in May amid attempted occupations of municipal and privately-owned land. The TRA structures were damaged and the contractors would not go on site until it was safe to work there again.
Mettler said the municipality is in the process of community consultations in order for conditions to be conducive to contractors restarting the TRA project.
“We would like to finish as [soon as] possible with the TRA,” she said.
During a march to the town hall in May, residents said they suspected that if they left for the TRA, they would never be able to go back to their original homes. They also felt that the money spent on the TRA could have been better spent on buying them land to build on.
Comment from a community representative was not immediately available on Sunday.
In the meantime, the town’s traffic officials were at intersections trying to stop vehicles carrying building materials to Watergang.
On Saturday Western Cape police said the occupation started last week on the farm in Cloetesville.
“The farmer had an interdict against the invaders somewhere in April/May and they moved out. This is a second attempt,” said spokesperson Captain FC Van Wyk.
He said on Saturday that the Public Order Police and other law enforcement agencies were on the scene monitoring the situation and to prevent occupations.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Thursday that the majority party, the ANC, would propose an amendment to the Constitution in Parliament to support this move to “promote redress, advance economic development, increase agricultural production and food security”.
Hendricks was unaware that when he became the third South African to score a hundred on his ODI debut he did so faster than any of the other thirteen men to have achieved the feat.
The Lions batsman made his T20I debut in 2014 but has had to wait for an opportunity in the fifty-over format.
“I was very happy to make my debut today, and most importantly, contribute for my team,” he said.
“It’s quite difficult to break through into this South African side, so I was quite fortunate today and I managed to score some runs.”
An injured skipper Faf du Plessis was thrilled with the performance from the young batsman which has strengthened the team’s batting stocks heading into the World Cup next year.
“To see someone play like that on debut was remarkable, and that’s the great thing about our batting line-up,” said Du Plessis after the Proteas’ 78-run win.
“We have guys putting their hands up every game, and putting match-winning performances. It’s about giving guys opportunities. We will try and do the same in the next two matches as well.”
Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews was keen to pull what positives he could from the series so far but was eager to move on from the defeats.
Mathews felt the bowlers let them down up front.
“Pretty disappointed with the way we started with the ball,” said Mathews.
“The last ten overs didn’t go to plan – 360 was a bit too high on this track. We didn’t execute our plans.
“We want to look forward and get better as a team. (There are a) lot of positives in Dhananjaya (de Silva) and Lahiru Kumara, they showed some fight. But Reeza played superbly and JP (Duminy) finished well.
“We need to try and think out of the box if we are to win a game. As a team we need to play on good wickets and win. We’ve still got two games to go and if we can win those, it would be ideal.”
The fourth ODI will also be played at the Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy on Wednesday (11:00 SA time).
The Western Cape government is offering a R100 000 reward for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of whoever is burning trains in Cape Town.
“The R100 000 reward we are making available is our warning to these arsonists: You are being watched, you will be caught and we will not allow you to derail this province,” said Dan Plato, the MEC for Community Safety in the province on Sunday.
Premier Helen Zille said the attacks were sabotaging freedom of movement, leaving a serious knock-on effect to the province’s economy and productivity.
“The organised criminal elements behind these attacks must be exposed,” said Zille in a statement.
Zille noted that Metrorail falls under the control of the national government, but the assistance is to bolster a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) recently signed between the Passenger Rail Agency of SA, which manages Metrorail, and the City of Cape Town.
As part of this MOA, the Western Cape government contributed R16m to improve Metrorail’s security.
The city is also training 100 extra security officers to guard trains and rail infrastructure.
Said Plato: “We urge rail passengers to report all crimes to the police and work with all law enforcement officials. Those responsible for the crimes are someone’s child, someone’s sibling or someone’s neighbour – these are the people that need to break their silence and assist the police.”
He said the information must be reported to the police.
