CAPE TOWN - The Legal Resources Centre will take the City of Cape Town to court over evictions during the lockdown.

The city said his structure was among those illegally erected on municipal land, but four law enforcement officers had been suspended and were being investigated.

Regional director at the centre, Sherylle Dass, said the city had failed to agree and they had now filed court papers, seeking to urgently interdict all forms of eviction. The court action also aims to protect evictees in cases where the city obtains a court order to execute an eviction.
