CAPE TOWN - The Legal Resource Centre has given the City of Cape Town until Monday to respond to their demand to halt all evictions.This comes after Bulelani Qholani was hauled naked out of his Khayelitsha shack last week.However, there has been a widespread outcry over his treatment.
After a video went viral showing how law enforcement manhandled Qholani during an eviction, the community was outraged and took to the streets.Police Minister Bheki Cele visited the community over the weekend. He believes there is a lack of accountability within the City of Cape Town's law enforcement agencies.But the city's JP Smith rubbished those claims, saying that there were a number of oversight mechanisms in place.
Qholani has now laid criminal charges against the law enforcement officers involved in the operation.Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato said hat a high court order handed down earlier this year permitted the city to act against land invasion attempts on the site.
