A family of 10 is gearing up to fight a court judgment that forced them off the farm which was their home for 38 years. Windmeul Kelder wine farm hired armed security to be present at the eviction of the family on Tuesday. The family was left on the roadside with their belongings and no roof over their heads.
Sinazo said the family had lived for 38 years on the farm. She said her parents are old and do not have any strength left to fight. Sinazo said her father never sold alcohol. “He was drinking when the cellphone video was taken. After him, we continued to stay on the farm, but it was hard because we received threats.”
Asked if municipality has plans to deal with pending eviction cases which may affect thousands of people living on farms, Marthinus said: “The municipality is aware of the scale of evictions within the jurisdiction and is proactively planning to assist within our resources. Furthermore, the municipality has meaningful engagements to discuss alternatives to evictions and also produces a report to the court.
