The Constitutional Court has ordered that the controversial signage covering a block of flats in Long Street, Cape Town, must be removed.

The court handed down judgment last Friday after a year-long battle between the City of Cape Town, Independent Outdoor Media and the body corporate of the Overbeek building on the corner of Kloof and Long streets. Dyssel’s signage was erected on the Overbeek building with the words"Stay Home" and"Mask Up" during the hard Covid-19 lockdown.

The City approached the Constitutional Court to confirm the setting aside of Sections 29 and , as required by the Constitution, while IOM, the owner of the Overbeek signs, similarly lodged an appeal with the Constitutional Court. Zuma’s supporters and members of the ANC demanded the banner be taken down. At the time, the City had slammed the company, labelling the poster illegal.
